Winery history Fondazione Villa Russiz

The estate was founded in the second half of the 19th century, when Elvine Ritter de Zàhony and Count Theodor de La Tour transformed Russiz into a pioneering wine property. Over the course of the 20th century the estate evolved into today’s Fondazione Villa Russiz: proceeds are dedicated to social initiatives and a family-style care home, while the winery preserves Collio’s winemaking tradition and develops cru lines and fine wines.

Production philosophy

Putting the land first: rigorous vineyard management, respect for Collio's microclimate, and winemaking designed to express the characteristics of each grape variety. The Foundation combines enological quality objectives with an ethical and social mission.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the Collio goriziano, the estate occupies vineyards on well‑exposed hillsides, on "ponca" soils. The microclimate, influenced by the Julian Alps and the nearby Adriatic, promotes diurnal temperature variations and intense aromas in the wines.

Awards and recognitions

More than 300 national and international awards received over the years.
