A magnificent place. A hilly setting, typical for the Friuli region. It is here that the grapes destined to give life to the wines of the Felluga family's Russiz Superiore estate ripen. Magnificent soils, consisting of an alternation of marl (limestone loams and clays) and sandstone (cemented sands). These are ideal places for growing quality grapes, thanks also to the fortunate microclimate, influenced by the large temperature swings between day and night that give the wines freshness and minerality. Strictly manual harvesting, after picking, the grapes are separated from the stalks. The juice and pulp undergo cold maceration, then a gentle pressing that allows separation from the skins. Approximately 15% of the must is fermented in oak barrels, the remaining 85% in steel tanks. The wine is then left to rest for about eight months on the lees and then in the bottle. Straw yellow colour with shades tending towards green. The nose is characterised by intense and elegant vegetal and floral notes. It is easy to distinguish sage, pepper, acacia flowers and grapefruit. In the mouth, on the other hand, it delivers beautiful emotions thanks to its intense flavour. A structured and balanced white wine. The perfect balance between freshness and savouriness make it an ideal wine for the whole meal.
Russiz Superiore is undoubtedly one of the most representative of its terroir. That Friuli that has always been considered a benchmark in terms of quality. The winery, owned by the Felluga family, is located in Capriva del Friuli, in one of the most famous and vocated areas of the Gorizia Collio. The family's link with this area dates back to the arrival of Giovanni Felluga, scion of a family of Istrian winegrowers who moved to Friuli after the First World War. He was succeeded by his son Marco, an oenologist, who founded the winery of the same name, which over time was joined by Russiz Superiore, created to promote the wines made in the Capriva del Friuli area. Today Roberto Felluga heads the two companies, with his daughter Ilaria ready to give continuity to the family business. Today Russiz Superiore extends, in a single body around the winery, over the splendid hills of Capriva del Friuli. The varieties cultivated are: Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
