Native Grape Wine Tasting at Ferruccio Sgubin in Dolegna del Collio

Your experience begins in the tasting room, where you'll be welcomed by a member of the Sgubin family. Marco, Margherita, or Ferruccio will be your host, ready to share their family's passion for the wines of Collio.

Over the next 90 minutes, they will guide you through a tasting dedicated to the region's indigenous grape varieties. The session is designed to showcase the local terroir through two different interpretations of the same grapes: the fresh, direct style of the Classic Collection and the structured complexity of the Petruss reserve line.

The tasting includes five wines: four whites and one red, chosen to show two different interpretations of the same local grapes. You begin with the fresher style of DOC Collio Ribolla Gialla and DOC Collio Friulano, then compare them with Ribolla Gialla Petruss DOC Collio and Friulano Petruss DOC Collio, the family’s more structured reserve expressions made from selected vineyard parcels.

The final glass is Schioppettino IGT, a red made entirely from the native Schioppettino grape, bringing a spicy, red-fruited contrast to the four whites.

Tasting the Classic and Petruss wines side by side gives you a clear sense of how the same Collio varieties can change in depth and character according to vineyard selection and winemaking approach.
