Vie di Romans
From this winery
  • Start up year: 1900
  • Oenologist: Gianfranco Gallo
  • Bottles produced: 300.000
  • Hectares: 67
The Gallo family's commitment to the world of vines and wine began over a century ago and has manifested itself over time through the work and dedication of people such as Basilio, Stelio, Gianfranco and their families.

Since 1978, the winery has been run by Gianfranco who, through rigorous and daring viticultural choices, combined with careful oenological interpretation, has affirmed a qualitative style of great personality, which has distinguished the Vie di Romans winery over the last twenty years.

Important milestones in this last historical journey have been: 1978 first bottling and first commercial label, 1982 start of a cycle of viticultural modernisation aimed at high quality, 1989 construction of the new cellar built on three floors, 1990 vinification of grapes separated according to cru of origin, 1992 commercial release of the 1990s vintage and from this date onwards white wines will always be marketed two years after the harvest.
