Description
What kind of wine it is
Dut’Un Bianco by Vie di Romans is a still white wine created from a skilful blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon. Classified as Indicazione Geografica Tipica Venezia Giulia, it appears in the glass with an intense straw yellow colour. The aromatic profile is dense and enveloping, with jammy fruit and citrus notes that blend harmoniously with the hints imparted by barrel ageing. On the palate, the rich extractive structure finds an ideal balance with freshness, leading the tasting towards a velvety and savoury finish of great persistence.
Where it comes from
The grapes are carefully cultivated in the vineyards of Mariano del Friuli, trained using the simple Guyot and spur cordon systems. The vine roots delve into well-drained soils rich in stones, with varying depths. The particular silty-clay composition of the land displays a distinctive reddish hue, due to the natural concentration of iron and aluminium oxides. These specific pedoclimatic conditions ensure balanced ripening of the bunches, imparting the intense savouriness and aromatic precision typical of this wine-growing area to the glass.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with a cold skin maceration at eight degrees, designed to gently extract aromatic precursors. Alcoholic fermentation takes place very slowly over fifty-three days at a strictly controlled temperature. To preserve the integrity of the natural freshness, malolactic fermentation is not carried out. The wine then matures for ten months on the lees, completing its refinement with a period of rest in the bottle, an essential step for perfect taste balance.
History and Curiosities
Dut’Un Bianco by Vie di Romans, a prestigious expression of Venezia Giulia IGT, is a blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon of rare elegance. The grapes, harvested in September in Friuli, undergo a delicate cold skin maceration. A slow fermentation lasting fifty-three days enhances its aromatic profile, followed by a long ageing on the lees for ten months and a further rest in the bottle for another twenty months. This wine has been awarded the Bibenda 5 bunches and 5 stars from the Italian Sommelier Foundation.
