Even before the Second World War, the family of Livio Felluga was already producing wines such as Refosco and Malvasia in the island of Istria, where Livio was born. Livio was the eldest child of the 4th generation of winemakers. After the war, Livio moved to Friuli, in the town of Rosazzo, where he bought his first vineyards and he started to revolutionize the wine-growing and wine-making scene of Friuli. In the 50's he founded the Brazzano winery on the same hill and is a place of worship for all the wine lovers. At that time the land was in a state of abandon, but Livio Felluga worked hard to make those hills productive again. He loved those hills so much that he immortalized them in each wine label: that is how the famous 'geographic map' labels were conceived. Nowadays the company owns 160 hectares and 155 of them are vine-cultivated producing around 800,000 bottles well-known and loved all over the world.
