Description
What kind of wine it is
Vie di Romans Vieris Sauvignon Blanc is a still white wine that embodies the essence of Friuli Isonzo. Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, it displays an intense and brilliant golden yellow hue. On the nose, it offers a floral and fruity bouquet, with notes of papaya, ripe peach and delicate hints of ginger. On the palate, it is fresh and harmonious, supported by subtle woody notes that prolong the exotic fruit flavours. Its significant structure makes it ideal to pair with fish and shellfish, sushi, delicate starters and goat’s cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Mariano del Friuli, within the Friuli Isonzo area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The vines, trained using the simple Guyot method, grow on shallow soils rich in stones. The soil is characterised by a silty-sandy texture with a reddish colour, due to the presence of iron and aluminium oxides. This substrate, with its high drainage capacity and limited water reserves, promotes optimal vegetative balance and gives the grapes a distinct territorial identity.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with destemming and crushing of the grapes, followed by a cold skin maceration at eight degrees to maximise aromatic extraction. After static clarification, the must ferments at a controlled temperature for twenty-five days, without undergoing malolactic fermentation to maintain a dynamic and lively profile. The wine’s complex character develops during an eight-month period on the lees, then is completed by a careful bottle ageing for a further eight months.
