Vie Di Romans Friuli Isonzo Bianco Flors Di Uis 2019 750 ML

This is a fantastic white. Opulent and spicy with so much clove and dried lemon and lime. It’s full and oily, yet solid and energetic at the same time. Goes on for a long time.\n \n Producer Information\n Vie di Romans is an Italian wine estate based in Friuli Isonzo in southeastern Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It produces an extensive white-wine portfolio of single-vineyard Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Friulano and Malvasia Istriana amoungst others. The family-owned estate has been overseen by Gianfranco Gallo since 1978. The vineyards underwent significant development and improvement in 1982, and a new winery was constructed in 1989. From 1990, Vie di Romans has focused largely on the production of single-vineyard wines from its 50 hectares (124 acres) of vineyards located close to the town of Mariano del Friuli. These estate vineyards are planted in a high-density to ensure a low yield of grapes with concentrated flavor compounds are produced. They are found planted on a broad terrace of iron-rich red soils situated on the northern bank of the Isonzo river. In addition to the single-vineyard white collection, the estate also produces a selection of varietal Merlot and Pinot Nero. The Vie de Romans Chardonnay is the flagship of the wine portfolio, sourced from estate vineyards in Friuli Isonzo. It spends 9 months aging on lees prior to bottling and will happily cellar for the next decade or two.
