The Prize

Take home a 1.5 liter magnum of Collio Sauvignon Riserva 2013 Russiz Superiore and a magnum of Collio Pinot Grigio "Mongris Riserva" 2016 Marco Felluga.

Marco Felluga and Russiz Superiore are two of the most prestigious wineries of Collio region: they have an enduring relationship with the wine - began over a century ago, in the second half of 1800, in Istria - that can be considered a true dynasty of winemakers, that has been able to exploit the potential of some varieties and territories suited to the vine.

Collio Sauvignon: Straw yellow in color with golden highlights. In the nose, the- re is an intriguing medley of peaches and apricots, sage and thyme, and green bell peppers. In the mouth, freshness and fruitiness make a delightful marriage. The wine is structured and well-balanced, with a silky texture, good body, and a long finish. It is best paired with medium-aged blue cheeses, grilled fish, vegetable-based dishes in general, such as risotto with asparagus, peppers or spices such as sage and mint.

Collio Pinot Grigio "Mongris": The name Mongris comes from the contraction of “mono variety” and the Friulano word for pinot grigio, Gris. Golden yellow in colour, often with copper tones. It has an intense and immediate bouquet with pronoun- ced hints of acacia flowers, broom and apple. In the mouth it is elegantly fruity and becomes full bodied, well-structured and has a remarkably long finish.

Please note: The mimimum age for alcohol consumption varies from country to country.

It creates, thanks to the local members of the community, wells, vegetable gardens, schools and health centers; it helps the local authority and other charities to create new educational and health policies to fight starvation, malaria and HIV; in Italy, it raises awareness about these realities and it makes people understand the tragic level of economical imbalance.
