“In a place unique for its charm, style, and history, nestled in the enchanting setting of Capriva, lies the Russiz Superiore winery. One of the most prestigious estates in the Collio region, the historic property was acquired by the Marco Felluga family in 1967. With Roman origins, it still bears the emblem of the double-headed eagle, the symbol of the Torre Tasso princes, among the first lords of these lands in 1273.
Passion, experience, foresight, and a deep love for the land best describe the relationship between the Felluga family and the world of wine, a story that began over 150 years ago. Today, Ilaria Felluga represents the sixth generation of this winemaking legacy. True to Friulian winemaking tradition, Russiz Superiore specializes in white wines that can be appreciated both in their youth and after years of aging, revealing intriguing notes of ripe fruit balanced by unmistakable mineral complexity. The quality of the red wines, both native and international varieties, is equally remarkable. Thanks to their great structure, they are well-suited for long aging.”
