Description
What kind of wine it is
Ciampagnis by Vie di Romans is a still white wine with controlled designation of origin that expresses the essence of Chardonnay in the Friuli Isonzo area, matured in steel. Visually, it displays a bright straw yellow hue. On the nose, aromas of ripe pineapple and papaya emerge, harmonised with fresh citrus notes of citron peel and kumquat. The palate reveals an enveloping structure, balanced by vibrant freshness and a long savoury finish, with elegant mineral hints of flint and iodine. It proves ideal for accompanying fish and shellfish dishes, while also enhancing first courses, cheeses, and vegetarian preparations.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in Mariano del Friuli, an area of excellence in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, at an altitude of thirty-two metres with a north-south exposure. The shallow soil is rich in stones and poor in clay, characterised by a typical reddish colour due to the presence of iron and aluminium oxides. This particular soil, combined with simple Guyot and spur-pruned cordon training, promotes the productive balance of the vines. These pedoclimatic conditions define the wine's sensory profile, giving it a pronounced mineral imprint in line with the identity of the territory.
How it is produced
Production begins with a two-stage harvest carried out in September, a technique chosen to pick bunches with complementary ripeness. After vinification, the wine matures through eight months of ageing in steel on its own lees, a process that enriches its structure while preserving the aromatic precision of the Chardonnay. This is followed by a further rest of ten months, essential for harmonising softness and freshness. The result is a wine with a taut and balanced profile, deeply rooted in the land of its origin.
History and Curiosities
The prestigious Chardonnay Ciampagnis 2024, offered in the convivial Magnum format, originates in Mariano del Friuli, in the heart of the Friuli Isonzo DOC. The harvest, carried out in two stages, ensures the grapes reach ideal ripeness, enhancing their aromatic profile to the fullest. The vines sink their roots into a distinctive reddish, iron-rich soil with a stony structure, which imparts a pronounced mineral progression to the wine. An eight-month maturation in steel on the lees and subsequent bottle ageing guarantee a soft structure and savoury freshness.
