From Gradisca the road turns back towards the Cóllio hills until it comes to Capriva del Friuli.
Capriva includes the sub-districts of Spessa, Russiz Inferiore, and Russiz Superiore. Its origins lie in the castle at Spessa and the villa at Russiz. The castle is a late XIX-century construction on the remains of much older XIII-century building. Today it is the headquarters of a winery whose cellars are located in an ex-First World War military bunker.
Not far from the castle, Villa Russiz was built by the Counts La Tour, who introduced French grape varieties into Friuli. Just a few hundred metres away lies the Russiz Superiore property, built on the remains of an old castle; now it too is an important winery.
