High in the storied hills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia (\u201cFriuli\u201d), the Felluga family has been producing high-quality wines from some of the best vineyard sites in the region since the early 1800s. Multiple generations have contributed to the family\u2019s winemaking legacy and today, Marco Felluga<\/a> epitomizes the excellence of Friuli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n With origins that began in Istria, Giovanni Felluga moved his family to Collio and began making wine in the 1930s after the First World War. Carrying on the tradition, in 1956, son Marco took the helm of the family business and actually founded the winery which bears his name. Marco firmly put the family winery on the map and was widely considered one of the most innovative vintners in the region, if not all of Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the family\u2019s history, the Fellugas have dedicated their lives to the preservation of their family winemaking traditions and heritage, while also embracing cutting-edge technology. Today, fifth generation winemaker Roberto Felluga leads the family\u2019s estates. His daughter, Ilaria Felluga, is now studying enology with the intention of joining the family business in the future and furthering the family\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Winery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
