Scopri i Tesori Enologici del Collio DOC

I Produttori di Eccellenza: Jermann, Venica, Vie di Romans, Livio Felluga

The DOC Collio is an area which includes the border areas with Slovenia and Austria to the Adriatic Sea in the south. The Collio is an area of Friuli Venezia Giulia where the soil is made up of marl and sandstone of oceanic origin which is called Ponca, this type of soil has the characteristic to crumble if held in hands revealing small fossils. The Collio therefore has a very rich in minerals soil transmitted to musts and then to the wines giving freshness and unique flavor. Wineries such as Jermann, Venica, Vie di Romans, Livio Felluga have been able to make the most of their products which are appreciated all over the world.


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.
