{"title":"Russiz Superiore","description":"Russiz Superiore is an Italian winery located near the town of Russiz di Sotto in the east of the country, just before the Slovenian border. Together with the Marco Felluga winery, it has existed since the mid-19th century, and both are now run by the fifth generation of the Felluga family, Robert Felluga. The region enjoys a mild climate thanks to its proximity to the sea (30 km) and the protection afforded by the Alps to the north. The region\u0026#39;s soils, consisting mainly of sandstone and marl, provide ideal conditions for the winery\u0026#39;s 100 hectares of vineyards. Among the grape varieties cultivated are Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, and Tocai Friulano.","products":[{"product_id":"russiz-superiore-friulano-collio-doc","title":"Friulano Collio DOC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Friulano from Russiz Superiore shows what the Collio region is capable of: a grape variety that nowhere else appears as clear and full of character as on the ponca hills between Friuli and Slovenia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Russiz Superiore is one of the traditional wineries of the Collio DOC.
