Chardonnay Vie di Romans Friuli Isonzo DOC

Chardonnay Vie di Romans is a wine that makes elegance its hallmark even though structure is important. The grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed, the berries and must are placed to macerate cold and in the absence of oxygen at 8°C for a time that varies from vintage to vintage depending on the ripeness of the grapes. This process allows the transfer of aromatic compounds from the skins to the juice, then the berries are pressed and the must is placed to decant, the limpid is inoculated with selected yeasts and alcoholic fermentation is carried out at a temperature between 16 and 19°C. Aging takes place in stainless steel and lasts 7 months, a period in which the wine in contact with the fine lees evolves and is completed both olfactorily and aromatically before being bottled and undergoing another 9 months of bottle aging. One of the bold choices made by Gianfranco Gallo was to market his white wines no earlier than two years after harvest so as not to go to market with wines that still lack harmonious balance. The color of the wine is a very intense golden yellow, on the nose the aromatic power is evient, ranging from notes of ripe pineapple to citrus peel and yellow peach, in the mouth it is almost dense and creamy but is nevertheless supported sa an important freshness and sapidity and the finish is very long.
