ABOUT LIVIO FELLUGA

Back from the Second World War he sealed a deep bond with the hill side of Friuli by reviving the vineyards of Rosazzo. It is 1956 when, anticipating the appellations of origin, he chooses an ancient map of the area to create an iconic label to tell the world the story of his wines.
