The Marco Felluga family estate is a pioneer in regional quality and innovation. This winegrowing dynasty started at the end of the 1800s in Istria, when the current Marco Felluga?s grandfather Marco tapped the terrain?s potential for indigenous grape varieties. In 1920 Marco?s son Giovanni moved the business to Grado, near Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli. After training at Conegliano?s prestigious Enological School, Giovanni?s son Marco continued Felluga?s innovation and emphasis on quality and research. In the 1950s Marco founded Marco Felluga in Gradisca d’Isonzo, a fortified citadel of the Venetian Republic in the 1300s.

Tasting Notes
The Collio?s hilly terrain, formed during the Eocene period, is composed of layers of sandstone and loam rock (limestone and clay) that were once the ocean floor. Today the sea, which is about 20 km (12 miles) away, and the nearby Alps send afternoon breezes over the vineyards, cooling the grapes after a warm day of sun. Proximity to mountains and sea, along with the mineral-rich but poor soils, create the ideal situation for producing complex, well-structured wines that are very age-worthy. These soils are impermeable so rainwater flows off the surface, producing little erosion and preventing standing water.
