Collio Rosso Riserva Degli Orzoni Russiz Superiore

Red Wines

The Orzoni family was one of the noble owners of the Russiz Superiore estate, who lived there between 1558 and 1770. Even during these early times, they had already identified a plot particularly suitable for red wine production. This parcel was indicated in the ancient cadastral maps compiled in the XVIII Century during the reign of Maria Theresa of Austria and then concluded by Napoleon’s administration.
