Winemaker Notes

Collio’s hilly terrain is well known for producing excellent white wines. This estate-grown Pinot Grigio gains added richness from the 15% of the juice fermented in barrels. Pinot Grigio is the most important grape variety in Friuli and has been grown in the Collio area since the second half of the 1800s.

Sleek and zesty, this lithe white offers crunchy apple and white peach fruit, stone and chamomile accented by hints of pink grapefruit peel and grated ginger. Drink now through 2028.

87 James Suckling

A medium-bodied, straightforward white with aromas of chopped pears and apples. Easy and fruity. Drink now.

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.
