Russiz Superiore Collio Cabernet Franc 2022

About the Producer

In the commune of Capriva del Friuli, in the heart of the Collio Goriziano wine area on the border of Slovenia, lies the estate of Russiz Superiore. The place name Russiz dates back at least to 1273, when a certain Raimondo della Torre became the patriarch of Aquileia (essentially, the prince-bishop of Friuli). He named his estate Russiz Superiore for its high (superior) location above the hamlet of Russiz. The estate passed through countless hands over the next several centuries but was known for most of that time as a source of fine wine grapes.
