Sauvignon 'Piere' Vie di Romans Magnum 2023

The Sauvignon “Piere” is one of the most famous and appreciated labels from the Friulian winery le Vie di Romans, here in Magnum format. The famous semi-aromatic French grape variety is among the international ones that best expresses itself in the Friulian lands and is certainly one of the most loved for its characteristic scents and aromas. The climate with Mediterranean nuances, mild and breezy, allows the Sauvignon to ripen perfectly and to offer a white wine of great drinking pleasure, intense and broad. Its authentic territorial connotation is one of the strengths that enhances its typicity.

The white Sauvignon “Piere” is the result of a bet that the Cantina Vie di Romans wanted to make on the Friulian territory of Isonzo, highlighting its vocation for the cultivation of both indigenous and international varieties, historically present in the region. The grapes come from the Piere vineyard, located in the Isonzo Rive Alte area, within the municipality of Mariano del Friuli. The Sauvignon Blanc vines are about fifteen years old and were planted with Italian clones of loose clusters. The plot covers an area of about 12 hectares and is located at an altitude of 33 meters above sea level, with a north-south exposure and soils composed of silty clays, conglomerates, and abundant skeleton. Harvesting takes place towards the end of August, and the best bunches undergo a cold maceration for a few hours. This is followed by fermentation at low temperatures with selected yeasts, lasting about twenty days. The wine matures in steel tanks on its own yeasts for nine months and completes aging with ten months in the bottle.

The Sauvignon “Piere” Vie di Romans Magnum is a label that very well illustrates the personality of the Isonzo area, with wines that are aromatically very ripe and rich, accompanied by a clear freshness. In the glass, it presents itself with a straw yellow color with slight greenish reflections. The elegant varietal richness of the grape variety expresses itself with aromas of white flowers, citrus peel, yellow fruit, peach, pineapple, exotic fruit, gooseberry,
