Nature’s bounty: The Collio, unique and unrepeatable

The Collio is a special territory, right between the Julian Prealps and the Adriatic Sea. Thanks to its peculiar climate and unrepeatable soil - “Ponca” (in the Friulian dialect), or “Flysh” (in Italian) - featuring the stratification of marl and sandstone, it is ideal to grow numerous vine varieties, both native and international.

​

This type of soil originated during the Eocene period, more than 65 million years ago, when Russiz Superiore was the site of a coral reef, evidence of which can still be found.
