Russiz Superiore Sauvignon Blanc Collio Riserva 2018 Review
In 1967 Marco Felluga purchased the Russiz Superiore property which has been a legendary example of quality wine since the thirteenth century. The estate is known for making particularly age-worthy wines, and today sixth-generation Ilaria Felluga is at the helm continuing her father, Roberto, and grandfather, Marco’s legacy. A legacy that shines through in this bottle. Friuli is home to some of the purest expressions of international varieties (they also have amazing native grapes) and wine is a prime example of this. You can tell right away this wine has impeccable balance just on the nose with its prominent minerality and concentrated fruit. The palate is where it's at, with excellent texture and a lithe mouthfeel balancing the fruit and acidity seamlessly.
