Winery
The prestigious wineries Marco Felluga and Russiz Superiore are two realities of Collio which find in their viticultural vocation - started in the second half of 1800, in Istria - what can be considered as a real dynasty of winemakers, which has been able to enhance the potentialities of some grapes and of territories with a vocation for vine.
In the thirties, after the First World War, Giovanni Felluga decided to move to Friuli and more precisely to Collio. Marco, the penultimate of Giovanni's seven sons, continued the family business and in 1956 he established the homonymous winery. To him, trained since he was young at the prestigious enology school of Conegliano, is due the path of innovation, quality and research.
The balance with which he managed to use innovation and tradition, made his winery a point of reference for the whole territory. Today, his son Roberto, who represents the fifth generation and now runs both wineries: Marco Felluga at Gradisca d'Isonzo (Gorizia) and Russiz Superiore at Capriva del Friuli (Gorizia), continues to follow the path of absolute quality he traced.
