Company Info

The Felluga are a sort of ruling dynasty in Friuli. Originally from Istria, a place they remember, like many others forced to emigrate by the violent vicissitudes of 20th century Europe, with much fondness and nostalgia, they found in post-war Friuli a new sort of promised land.
This time not the Biblical land flowing with milk and honey, but hillsides where vines could be planted, grapes grown, and wine produced and marketed to the four corners of the globe, creating a name for themselves and for the quality of their bottles which will shortly reach the third generation.
Totally surrounded by the farm vineyards, the farm holiday accommodation can only be reached from the picturesque winery of the house, where it is possible to stop and taste the fine wines that are produced here.
Guests can go for walks through the nearby farm vineyards or go for a spin on one of the free mountain bikes available to discover some of the magnificent beauty spots in Friuli, just 1 km away. The bedrooms take their names from the most important wines produced in this area. The Picolit room on the ground floor is equipped to accommodate the disabled. A homemade breakfast with local products is also included.

Relais Russiz Farm Holiday Accommodation

To ensure that guests can fully enjoy peace and quiet, none of the bedrooms have a television set, which instead can be found in the reception area on the ground floor of the structure.

Bedrooms

The 6 bedrooms and 1 suite can host up to three people and are equipped with every comfort, including air conditioning, a mini-bar, central heating, a Wi-Fi link and private bathrooms. It is also possible to stay in two adjoining rooms on the ground floor.

Wines

Marco Felluga established himself in Gradisca di Isonzo. He has regularly been a skilled purchaser of grapes and wine from trusted hillside growers. But acquisition of vineyard land has certainly not been neglected and the total acreage is now an impressive 100 ha.
He has also purchased the historic Russiz Superiore estate in Capriva del Friuli and, more recently, the Castello di Buttrio (now run by his daughter) in the township of the same name, this time in the Colli Orientali del Friuli appellation. Another daughter has her own denomination in San Floriano del Collio. But the center of the estate remains Gradisca d’Isonzo where Roberto Felluga, Marco Felluga’s son, now runs the show.

Picking out the standout wines in so large a line is anything but simple, but the white blends Molamatta and Col Disôre are obvious choices, as are the Pinot Grigio Mongris Riserva, the Sauvignon, fresh, fragrant, and elegant in the best Friuli style, and the Friulano, a name which reminds us that Sauvignon Vert, once known locally as Tocai, is a fine example of a French grape which performs better in Italy than in its home territory.
But red wine, as demonstrated by the Merlot Varneri and, even more so, by the Carantan and by Rosso Riserva degli Orzoni, can well recall Bordeaux in an Italian context.
