Country: Italy Region: Friuli-Venezia Giulia Varietal:Chardonnay Vintage:2023 Colour: White Style:Dry Producer: Vie di Romans Vie di Romans are based in the heart of DOC Friuli Isonzo (Mariano del Friuli), in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where winemaker Gianfranco Gallos 65 hectares of vineyards produce about 250,000 bottles a year. Here, the well-drained soil is stony, glacial and rich in minerals, soaking up rainfall like a sponge. An easterly wind ensures cool night temperatures to temper the hot summer days, with a large diurnal range slowing ripening and allowing the grapes to accumulate flavour. This, along with the low yields that Gallo achieves and his proclivity for picking grapes once fully mature, results in single-vineyard wines of great intensity and richness. As a result, Gallo releases the Vie di Romans wines a year later than the local norm. Vineyards:The grapes for the Vie di Romans Chardonnay are sourced fromthe estates 10.75-hectare vineyard in the commune of Marianodel Friuli, located at an altitude of 31 metres above sea level. Soilshere are medium to deep, reddish-hued clay with a gravel-pebblytexture. The vines are planted at a density of 6,000-7,800 vines perhectare, and are trained using the Guyot method and spurpruning Vinification:After de-stemming and crushing, the grapes underwent a pre-fermentation cold maceration at 8 C.
