THE COMPANY
A unique name in the Italian production landscape, as well as a symbol of a region and its wines, it is easy to see how the history of Livio Felluga intertwines with that of an entire territory. This is a story featuring a family that survived two world wars, witnessing the changing borders around them, and then deciding to settle on the gentle slopes of the Friulian hills. It is here, not far from Cormòns in the province of Gorizia, that Livio Felluga had to undertake a new battle to revive the hillside, convinced that only the rebirth of quality cultivation could bring life back to the Friulian countryside. With great courage, he began to restore the old vineyards and plant new ones, introducing innovative ideas and methods. A hard job, marked by tenacity and passion, which over the years would lead him to create one of the most beautiful and significant business realities in the Peninsula, fully earning the title unanimously bestowed upon him as the rebuilder of Friulian winemaking tradition.
Currently, the company boasts a vast vineyard area that stretches from the Collio denomination to the Colli Orientali del Friuli, covering about 155 hectares. In the vineyard, the varieties found are both native and international, including friulano and pinot bianco, chardonnay and ribolla gialla, sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio, picolit and refosco, pignolo and merlot. Grapes that are transformed into what are now called the “map wines,” always depicted on labels featuring an old map of the company’s estates.
And so, the “Vertigo,” the “Nuaré,” and the “Sharis” come to life, followed by all the others, culminating in the “Terre Alte”: wines that are the offspring of a winery that still shines today for its quality and the territorial character it manages to express, a true ambassador of the best Friulian whites - and thus Italian - around the world.
