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 understand how the story 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 Friuli hills. It is here, not far from Cormòns in the province of Gorizia, that Livio Felluga had to embark on 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. It was a hard job, filled with determination and passion, which over the years led him to create one of the most beautiful and significant business realities on the Peninsula, earning him the title, unanimously recognized, of the rebuilder of the Friulian winemaking tradition.
Currently, the company boasts a vast vineyard area, which ranges from the Collio denomination to the Colli Orientali del Friuli, covering about 155 hectares. In the vineyard, the varieties encountered are both indigenous and international, including friulano and pinot bianco, chardonnay and ribolla gialla, sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio, picolit and refosco, pignolo and merlot. These grapes are transformed into what are now referred to as "geographic map wines," always depicted on the label and representing an old map of the company’s estates.
And so, “Vertigo,” “Nuaré,” and “Sharis” come to life, followed by all the others, culminating in “Terre Alte”: wines born from a winery that still shines 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.
