Russiz Superiore's benchmark Collio DOC Pinot Bianco from Capriva del Friuli, the estate Marco Felluga founded in 1966. White peach, pear and wildflower over Ponca minerality, with partial oak and six months on the lees. Fresh, full and food-ready.
Vivino drinkers (3.8 from 670 ratings) and Gambero Rosso's note on the 2023 converge on white peach, Kaiser pear and wildflower, carried by the Ponca-soil minerality Russiz Superiore builds through partial barrel fermentation and six months on the lees.

AlmondTwo UK merchants list the 2023 between roughly £25 and £30 a bottle, both showing stock. This is the estate's standard Collio bottling, a step below its Pinot Bianco Riserva.
Scored on six axes from its Collio DOC profile: a versatile, low-tannin white at £25 to £30, strongest at the table and as an introduction to Friuli's whites.
A fresh, low-tannin Collio white with real acidity and lees-built body pairs across seafood, cheese, risotto and white meats.
Pinot Bianco is approachable and fruit-forward with no tannin, an easy, classic introduction to Collio's white-wine style.
At a £25.21 floor it sits at the upper-mid of the Collio Pinot Bianco band, fair for a Gambero Rosso top-nine wine from a benchmark estate.
A prestige Collio DOC name from a 1966-founded estate makes it a considered choice for a dinner, short of trophy-bottle territory.

Gambero Rosso placed the 2023 among Collio's nine best Pinot Biancos and scored it 93/100, calling it vibrant and full of energy and a reflection of the best vintages.
Gambero Rosso placed the 2023 among Collio's nine best Pinot Biancos and scored it 93/100, calling it vibrant and full of energy and reflecting the characteristics of the best vintages. A fresh, balanced Collio white that is drinking well now and will hold into the late 2020s.

Marco Felluga founded Russiz Superiore at Capriva del Friuli in 1966, and it has been a Collio reference point since. Its vineyards sit on the impermeable Eocene marl and sandstone the appellation is built on.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Collio Goriziano/Collio is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Collio Goriziano/Collio falls within Friuli Venezia Giulia , covering Gorizia.
Russiz Superiore picks entirely by hand on the impermeable Eocene marl and sandstone above Capriva del Friuli; manual harvest and low-vigour flysch soils cap yields and add labour a flatland white avoids.
About 20% of the must ferments in oak and the wine rests roughly six months on its lees before release, tying up barrels and cellar space well beyond a tank-and-bottle Pinot Bianco.
Marco Felluga's Russiz Superiore is a Collio reference point and a Gambero Rosso top-nine Pinot Bianco, brand equity that lifts it above generic Friuli Pinot Bianco.
At 2026 rates a still wine under 15% carries £2.67 excise duty per 75cl, and 20% VAT on a £25 to £30 shelf price adds about £4.20 to £5.00, so roughly £7 of the price is UK tax before margin.
This is the estate's regular Collio Pinot Bianco, made in commercial volume, which keeps it well below the barrel-aged Pinot Bianco Riserva and the Col Disore white.
The 2023 reaches the UK through two mainstream affiliate merchants, and competition in the £25 to £30 band keeps the landed price in check.
Dishes that complement this wine
The fresh acidity and lees-built body bridge to frico, salt cod and vegetable risotto, the seafood and vegetarian primi vino.com and the estate point to first.
The bright Collio acidity and the gentle almond-savoury bite from six months on the lees cut the butter and melted Montasio in frico, the estate's own Friulian table partner.
Try with: Frico · Montasio fonduta · cheese-and-potato roesti · taleggio crostini · More pairings →
Whipped salt cod is rich and saline, so it needs acidity rather than weight. This Pinot Bianco's fresh line lifts the dish while its lees-built body keeps pace with the cream.
Try with: Baccala Mantecato · Baccala alla cosentina · seafood crudo · marinated anchovies · More pairings →
The roughly 20% barrel fermentation and lees ageing give enough mid-palate weight to match a creamy risotto, while the wine's stone-fruit fruit answers earthy porcini and bitter radicchio.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · pumpkin risotto · radicchio risotto · asparagus risotto · More pairings →
The wildflower and broom aromatics Russiz Superiore builds bridge to basil and green herbs, and the wine's freshness keeps a garlicky pesto from turning heavy.
Try with: Trofie al pesto · herb gnocchi · pasta with courgette and mint · spring vegetable orzo · More pairings →
Friuli's own San Daniele ham is sweet-salty and fine-textured. The wine's ripe peach fruit echoes the sweetness while its acidity rinses the salt and fat between bites.
Try with: Prosciutto di San Daniele · Vitello Tonnato · culatello · bresaola with rocket · More pairings →
This is a delicate, fruit-and-mineral white at around 13.5% alcohol. Strong chilli heat and sweet-sour glazes flatten its perfume and exaggerate any warmth, leaving the wine tasting thin.
Skip with: vindaloo · sweet-and-sour pork · spicy Sichuan · habanero salsa · Pairing guide →
Built to drink across roughly its first five years. The partial oak and lees ageing give a little more grip than a pure-steel Pinot Bianco, but the Riserva is the estate's wine for the cellar.
Partial oak and six months on the lees give three to five years of development, but the standard bottling is built to drink young; the Riserva is the cellar wine.
£23.10 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Lovely young, but good Collio Pinot Bianco can gain depth over a few years.
