It began in Croatia and lasted until 1930 when Giovanni Felluga decided to settle in Friuli. In 1936, Marco took over the helm and founded the current Marco Felluga winery. Since then, the winery has continuously sought a balance between tradition and innovation, always prioritizing high quality. Marco Felluga's vineyards are located in four distinct areas of the Collio region: Farra d'Isonzo, San Floriano del Collio, Oslavia, and Cormòns.\n\n\n \nMarco Felluga's Chardonnay is produced from carefully selected and hand-harvested grapes, usually between late August and early September. The bunches brought to the cellar are destemmed and then undergo cold maceration on the skins for several hours before being softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures for several weeks before the wine is refined, which remains in stainless steel containers for at least six months to preserve all the freshness and aromas of the varietal before bottling.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The tropical aromas of Collio Chardonnay\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Marco Felluga Collio Chardonnay has a broad bouquet of tropical fruit, pineapple, apples, and pears on the nose.

Savor the refreshing notes and enjoy the Italian Sauvignon Blanc.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e High-quality Sauvignon grapes for Toros Sauvignon Blanc Collio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nRenowned winemaker Franco Toros is always in the vineyards. He is the proud owner of the winery and constantly strives for the highest possible quality. The winery's origins date back to his grandfather, Edoardo, who laid the foundations in Novali, located in the heart of Collio Goriziano, in the early twentieth century. This area, also known as DOC Collio, is located in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in northeastern Italy. A remarkable characteristic of this region is that some of its vineyards extend into neighboring Slovenia. With a total of 1,500 hectares of vineyards, primarily planted with white grape varieties, the region focuses on quality wines.\n\n\n \nThe Sauvignon Blanc grapes are carefully hand-picked, with only the finest specimens being selected. After this selective harvest, the grapes are gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation then begins in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees, which refers to the yeast cells that collect at the bottom of the tank. During this period, bâtonnage is applied, which means the yeast cells are regularly stirred. This process contributes to enriching the wine with a rounder flavor profile and adding complexity.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aromas of Toros Sauvignon Blanc Collio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Toros Sauvignon Blanc Collio has a straw-yellow color in the glass, with fruity notes of figs and some spicy hints of grass and sage on the nose. The presence of citrus and green pepper adds an intriguing complexity to the aroma. The palate is structured and powerful, while the palate is soft and subtle, beautifully balanced. Toros Sauvignon Blanc Collio is an irresistible fusion of aromas and flavors, its fresh, powerful characteristics embraced by a refined softness.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775856775247,"sku":"14453","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/toros-sauvignon-blanc-collio_14453.webp?v=1771589636"},{"product_id":"ronco-dei-folo-pinot-grigio-collio-doc","title":"Ronco dei Folo Pinot Grigio Collio D.O.C.","description":"\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1i8rmj9\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"64\"\u003eRonco dei Folo Pinot Grigio Collio D.O.C. 2024 Collio, Italy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"66\" data-end=\"551\"\u003eIn the heart of Collio, Pinot Grigio takes on a much more serious and layered profile than the light, anonymous image often associated with this grape.
