About the Winery

After the Second World War, the people of the countryside village of Friuli in Italy had moved to different places. The place, which was once a wine-rich area, lost its charm after the war. It took an expert winemaker in the name of Livio Felluga to re-establish the wine culture of this place during 1956.
