Vie Di Romans Chardonnay Vie Di Romans Friuli Isonzo 2020 750 ML

This wine offers aromas of ripe apple, fresh lemon zest, mango and sweet spice. The palate is a near-perfect extension of the nose but more focused on ripe, fresh apple. On the finish, a pop of acidity and touch of minerality balance the natural fruitness of this wine.\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.
