Gräfin De La Tour: aging for over 12 months in Slavonian oak barriques; Sauvignon De La Tour: aging for over 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

Producer history Villa Russiz

The Villa Russiz estate has historical roots in the Collio; local sources place the company's origin around 1868, with the historic cellar dating back to 1869. Today the Fondazione Villa Russiz maintains wine production and complements its range of wines with a limited line of distillates tied to the estate's harvests.

Production philosophy

The production approach is based on a strong connection to the Collio territory and on enhancing the grapes and their distinctive varietal characteristics. For grappas, fresh pomace from the best estate-owned grapes is favored to preserve the original aromas.

Territory
