Vie di Romans

The 2021s from Vie di Romans burst from the glass with all of the power of the vintage with the tantalizing acidity to balance. Proprietor Gianfranco Gallo explained that this was a Mediterranean vintage with excellent diurnal shifts that produced berries with thin skins, yet very fragrant. I had a chance to revisit the 2020 vintage with the Dut Un, a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Sauvignon Blanc, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite wines in the portfolio. Next up was a selection from Gallo’s I Climat project. Vie di Romans has been focused on exposing and promoting the individual terroirs throughout their vineyards in Isonzo. The decision was to use Chardonnay as the variety that could communicate them best. All six I Climat wines are vinified in the same manner, aged completely in small stainless steel tanks so that the style in each bottle results from the terroir and nothing else. Unfortunately, they are not currently imported into the United States, but they are worth seeking out.
