PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Giuseppe Mussio was born in the commune of Zoppola in Italy in 1894 in a very humble household. After 40 years in America, Giuseppe Mussio decided to move back to his Friuli homeland and pursue his passion for Italian wines.
Today, Mussio wines still express the tenacious spirit of Giuseppe and the people of Friuli. Friuli is part of the region Friuli Venezia Giulia which in turn is within the IGT Delle Venezie.
