Marco Felluga Col Disôre Russiz Superiore 2007

WINERY – MARCO FELLUGA

Marco Felluga and Russiz Superiore are two of the most prestigious wineries of Collio region: they have an enduring relationship with the wine  that can be considered a true dynasty of winemakers, that has been able to exploit the potential of some varieties and territories suited to the vine.

In the 30’s, after the World War I, Giovanni Felluga decided to move to Friuli and more precisely, in the Collio. Marco, the penultimate of his seven children, continued the family business and in 1956 he founded the company which has his name. Thanks to him, who trained as a young man at the prestigious school of oenology of Conegliano, we have the path of innovation, quality and research.

The balance managed between innovation and tradition have made his company a benchmark for the entire territory. Today, his son continues on the path of absolute quality: Roberto represents the fifth generation of winemakers and leads both companies, Marco Felluga in Gradisca d’Isonzo  and Russiz Superiore in Capriva del Friuli.

The Russiz Superiore winery produces around 85% of the single varieties in steel tanks and 15% in wood, even the red wines are aged in small oak barrels, the single varieties for at least a year, two years for the Collio Rosso Riserva degli Orzoni.

COL DISORE COLLIO RUSSIZ SUPERIORE

In the Friulano language, Col Disôre refers to a hill in the Russiz territory. In 1648 the territory was divided in two—the “Russiz Disôre” (Russiz Superiore), the oldest center of the entire feudal settlement, mainly on the hill, and “Russiz di Sott” (Russiz Inferiore), mostly in the flats.

Production Area:  Russiz Superiore, located in the municipality Capriva del Friuli. Elevation: from 80 to 200 meters above sea level

Winemaking After harvest, the grapes, including a small portion of overripe grapes, were separated from the stems. The juice and pulp underwent a cold maceration followed by gentle pressing, which separated the skins from the must. Fermentation took place in oak barrels.

Aging The wine aged on the lees for about 12 months and was bottle-aged one year

Colour Deep straw yellow with gold and green highlights.

Aroma An elegant bouquet of acacia flowers and grapefruit with pleasant vegetal and sweet undertones.

Taste Good structure and a silky texture that coats the palate. A play between savoriness and freshness leads to a long, warm finish with almond undertones.
