Description
What kind of wine it is
Ciampagnis Chardonnay by Vie di Romans is a still white wine that expresses the essence of Chardonnay in the Friuli Isonzo region. It presents a bright straw-yellow colour and reveals intense aromas of pineapple, papaya, pear and citrus fruits, intertwined with notes of lily, flint and pronounced iodised nuances. On the palate, it is soft and enveloping, characterised by a great consistency that fills the mouth. The vivid freshness is balanced by measured elegance, leading to a savoury and persistent finish that prolongs the tasting experience.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Mariano del Friuli, within the Friuli Isonzo area. The vines, cultivated using the simple Guyot and spur cordon methods, grow just a few metres above sea level, benefiting from excellent sun exposure. The distinctive reddish soil, whose particular colour comes from a high concentration of iron and aluminium oxides, gives the harvest its identity. This shallow soil, marked by abundant stones and limited clay content, encourages regular ripening of the grapes. These geological conditions result in a pronounced mineral component that defines the wine’s sharp and continuous character.
How it is produced
After a careful harvest in September, the process involves eight months of maturation in steel on the lees, an essential phase to preserve the aromas and increase structural volume. This is followed by a further ten months of ageing to best integrate the flavour components and define the wine’s personality. On tasting, it reveals itself as soft and lively, animated by a prolonged savoury progression. Served at a temperature of 12°C, it pairs impeccably with first courses, lean fish and shellfish, creating excellent flavour harmonies with sushi and medium-aged cheeses.
History and Curiosities
The Ciampagnis 2024 from Vie di Romans is a masterful interpretation of the Friuli Isonzo DOC, originating from the distinctive red soils of Mariano del Friuli. This pure Chardonnay is the result of vines with an average age of sixteen years, cultivated on a characteristic reddish soil enriched with iron and aluminium oxides, a precise geological identity that defines its profound fidelity to its land of origin.
