Vie di Romans
Hidden deep in the heart of Isonzo del Friuli, at the far southeast of Italy's most northeasterly vinous region, Vie di Romans stands proudly amongst the very finest producers of Italian wine across the whole country.
From this seat of viticultural power, the legendary Gianfranco Gallo crafts truly beautiful wines from his 60 hectares of vineyards. Broadly speaking, this entire area is comprised of well-drained soils which are rich in minerals and provide excellent water retention for the precious vines. From the East, consistently cool winds regulate the fruit's temperature during the hot ripening summer months. This tempering of the heat prolongs the grapes' time on the vine before maturation, allowing for greater development of characteristics and, ultimately, the intensity of the wine.
Naturally, this 60-hectare area is dotted with utterly unique and characterful terroirs in the form of single vineyards. The idiosyncrasies of these plots, which express themselves in the most wonderful ways through the wine in the bottle, are Gallo's true passion. Following a strict methodology of low yields and selective harvesting times, he coaxes the very best expressions of his varied terriors into our glasses.

The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris is decidedly spicy in this vintage. Yellow flowers are elevated and intensified by notes of lemon-infused young mango and pungent minerals. It’s texturally rich and smooth while also sporting a blend of zippy acidity and sour citrus that forces the cheeks to pucker and thirst for more. Inner florals resonate over salty tension with a twang of grapefruit rind and savory spice. Wow, this is a hold-onto-your-seat expression of Sauvignon that’s sure to have a lot of fans.Inc.
