Description
The 2022 Vie di Romans Friuli Isonzo Sauvignon Blanc "Piere" is a refined white wine from the Friuli Isonzo DOC region in northeastern Italy, produced by the renowned Vie di Romans winery. Made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine reflects the region's unique terroir.
The grapes for "Piere" come from the eponymous vineyard, located in Mariano del Friuli. The soil consists primarily of siliceous and calcareous layers, which contribute to the wine's minerality and complexity. The climate, with warm days and cool nights, promotes optimal ripening of the grapes. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are carefully selected. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures between 16-19°C for 14-18 days. The wine is then aged for eight months "sur lie" in stainless steel tanks, which contributes to its texture.
The 2022 "Piere" Sauvignon Blanc opens with a bright bouquet of tropical flowers and a hint of jalapeño pepper. On the palate, the wine presents vibrant acidity with notes of grapefruit, lime, and subtle mineral nuances. The texture is rich, and the finish is refreshing and long-lasting. This wine is an excellent accompaniment to seafood, grilled vegetables, and light pasta dishes. Serve at 10-12°C (50-55°F) to fully develop its aromatic complexity. Although this wine is ready to drink now, it has the potential to develop and improve further with bottle aging until 2035.

The Vie di Romans 2020 Friuli Isonzo Sauvignon Blanc Piere (with lees aging in stainless steel) opens to a bright bouquet that is redolent of tropical blossom, Tahitian flowers, sea salt and a greenish note of jalapeño pepper. The wine is linear, tight and expressive. Production is 61,300 bottles.
Vie di Romans completed construction on its new winery in 2023. The structure has three floors with a larger barrel room and a visitors center. Starting at the beginning of 2024, proprietor Gianfranco Gallo brought his wife and children into the winery management loop.

This is spiced and citrusy with sliced pears, lime peel, savory herbs and raw almonds. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and crunchy with tense, phenolic character. Steady and vivid acidity. Lengthy and mineral with a creamy finish.

From: Friuli-Venezia Giulia: Both Sides of the Spectrum (Apr 2024)
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Piere is wildly fresh, with a vivid blend of crushed nectarines and lime zest complemented by hints of rosemary and crushed stone. It’s silky smooth yet full of zesty tension, with masses of mineral-drenched green apples and hints of spice propelled by vibrant acidity. The 2022 leaves the palate staining in primary concentration, youthfully intense and gently tannic, leaving a spicy sensation that lingers on and on. The balance here is otherworldly, as is its drinkability factor.
- By Eric Guido on August 2024
Utterly enticing from the first tilt of the glass and impossible to ignore, the 2022s from Vie di Romans display a combination of richness, depth of fruit and a core of zesty acidity that I find wildly attractive. These wines hail from an extremely warm and dry year with a healthy fruit set that resulted in larger clusters yet smaller berries. Limited use of drip irrigation was necessary to offset the drought conditions, yet was described by Matteo Gallo as “micro-irrigation”, giving only a tiny amount of water to vines to maintain their health. Cooling rain in late August into September brought balance to the equation, and while the Gallos harvested about ten days earlier than average, it still wasn’t as early as they originally feared it would be. Gallo explained that 2022 was one of their “Mediterranean-style vintages,” making comparisons to 2008 and 2018. I will say that the 2022s are ripe in style, with alcohol percentages in the 14 - 14.5% range, yet the harmony found within them is spellbinding. In fact, if I didn’t have the chance to taste these next to another vintage, their warm character wouldn’t have stood out at all. In the end, this is a fantastic set of wines that shouldn’t be missed by fans of Vie di Romans or Friuli itself. I also expect several of them to age remarkably well.

The house Vie di Romans is located in the Isonzo - the lower part of Friuli - between the Adriatic Sea and Collio. Because the country warms up during the day and cools down again at night, it often blows here. These conditions are ideal for wine growing. The wind quickly blows the grapes dry when wet, so they hardly need to be treated with pesticides.
Vie di Romans' Gianfranco Gallo was one of the first winemakers to see potential in the alluvial plain of Friuli. Thirty years ago he took over the domain from his father and in 1978 he released his first wine. Since 1990, almost all of his wines are monocépages (made from one and the same grape) from different vineyards. Gianfranco has its own style of wine making. He is particularly closely involved in every part of the process: from working in the vineyard to the cellar. He keeps the yields per hectare as low as possible and supervises the very strict use of pesticides - preferably none. The result is large, concentrated and complex wines that last a lifetime.
