The Russiz Superiore estate, in Capriva del Friuli in the Collio, a region east of Friuli Venezia Giulia, boasts a history of over 700 years, during which, viticulture gradually emerges as one of the most relevant activities thanks to the position and to the soil composition. Already at the end of the 18th century, the vineyards of the property were classified as one of the best “crus” in the region, under the banner of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The estate, located in a strategic position above the then municipality of Russiz (hence, “Superiore”), presents all its vineyards in a single body around the property, on the characteristic soil of this area of Friuli: the famous “ponca”, a composition of highly impermeable marl and sandstone, dating back to the oceanic era.
The Felluga family, wine merchants for over a hundred years, led by the personality of Marco, founder of the homonymous winery in the Collio, manages to take possession of the Russiz Superiore estate. However, given the exposure and the characteristic of this place, they decide to keep the two realities, and labels, distinct, in order to continue to enhance this centuries-old excellence of the region.
