About the Winery
Zuani
Zuani winery is located in the heart of Collio, Friuli, a hidden appellation between the Adriatic Sea and the Alps. Coming from a long tradition of winemakers in Croatia that goes back to the 19th century, Patrizia Felluga saw her dream come true when she acquired the estate and the vineyards in 2001. Today, her son and daughter have taken over the winery; producing exclusively white wines. Everything hinges on one exceptionally well exposed “cru”, or vineyard, on a gentle hillside where about eleven acres of vines and gardens surround the Zuani cellar.
The varietals planted are Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon, a carefully chosen range that produced the first vintage of Zuani Collio Bianco. The Zuani winery embodies the Felluga family winemaking heritage and expresses the fundamental unity of the traditional aspects of Friulian varieties with their more modern side.

Bright and simple, this wine delivers the goods. The Zuani 2023 Friuli Pinot Grigio Sodevo is made in stainless steel only with expressive fruit from marl and sandstone soils. Floral notes peel off first with orange blossom and yellow rose. There is a hint of sweetness to close, but the wine ends on a rather snappy, dry note. Production is 30,000 bottles.
Zuani, based in San Floriano del Collio, is run by Patrizia Felluga and her children, Antonio and Caterina. The winery is surrounded by soft hills, and the vineyard sites enjoy the best exposures. Typical Ponca soils with marl and sandstone give the wines freshness and sharp contours. This family-run estate was founded in 2001.

This is a classic, very tidy, firm and expressive pinot grigio with a fairly generous nose of ripe pear, linden blossom and wet stone - more complex than most grigios. It is light to medium bodied with firm almost crisp acidity, stony minerality and a lingering lemon-pear finish. Almost into riesling territory in the best way. The length is excellent. So much more here than than in the basic Italian pinot grigios. Tasted November 2025

"Sodevo" is Friulan for "satisfied", a reference to wine's ability to satisfy thirst. And Zuani's 2024 pinot grigio completes the mission with a broad, ripe and fleshy but balanced, nicely concentrated example with plenty of ripe yellow orchard fruit flavours and creamy acids. Density and intensity are above the mean, and the finish lingers impressively. Enjoy over the next 2-4 years - this warm vintage does not require extended cellaring. Tasted November 2025.
