Sauvignon Riserva doc Marco Felluga Russiz Superiore 2017

Sauvignon Riserva by Russiz Superiore is one of the most significant and intense expressions of the winery production. 5% of the grapes is harvested during the late ripening phase; one third of the must is aged in oak barrels and the rest in steel tanks. The slow refinement on its lees lasts over 3 years, besides an additional year in bottle. In the glass it is straw yellow with bright golden shades. The bouquet is intense and wide, with hints of yellow fruits, aromatic herbs, tomato leaf, mineral notes. The sip is soft, intense and enveloping, with a pleasant mineral sensation giving freshness and persistence. We recommend Sauvignon Riserva by Russiz Superiore with vegetarian first courses, fish soups, blue cheese.

Marco Felluga winery was established in 1860 in Istria. The region named Collio in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, has always been a territory consecrated to viticulture and wine-making. The family has been managing the famous winery and all its vineyards for more than 150 years. Thanks to Marco’s and Ilaria’s hard work, now the winery is made up of two different realities, always interconnected: Marco Felluga and Russiz Superiore estates. The latter is located in Capriva del Friuli: from those vineyards, the family makes the Selection, characterized by refinement and elegance.
