History Livio Felluga
It is easy to understand how the story of Livio Felluga and his wine is intertwined with the history of that particular land surrounding the extreme north-east of the Adriatic, the point of contact between the Mediterranean and central Europe. History of borders that have changed several times, disappeared empires, past wars... of people who stopped here. It is the story of a man who lived through two world wars, lived in the Austro-Hungarian Empire first and then in the young Kingdom of Italy, lived on the rocky coast of the Istrian peninsula and in the lagoon Grado. Livio Felluga moved to Friuli at the end of the 1930s, to settle on the gentle spurs of the Rosazzo hills. His dream of producing hill wine was interrupted by the call to the front. As if that wasn't enough, the return to Italy was not easy for the veterans of the Second World War: the physical, political and ethnic borders had changed, distorted forever, like the agricultural and social landscape of the hill itself. The peasant population was leaving, further impoverishing the land and abandoning the crops, values and traditions linked to it. Livio Felluga had to undertake a new battle to resurrect the hill, convinced that only the rebirth of quality cultivation could bring life back to the Friulian countryside. With great courage he began to restore the ancient Rosazzo vineyards and plant new ones, introducing innovative ideas and methods. Hard work, undertaken with great stubbornness and passion which over the years will lead him to create one of the most beautiful and significant corporate realities in the Bel Paese, rightfully acquiring the title of re-founder of the Friulian wine-growing tradition and a key player in the Italian wine renaissance .
