About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow on rich, fertile soils along the banks of the Isonzo River. The climate is sunny and Mediterranean, which helps produce healthy, vibrant grapes.

Vinification

The grapes are destemmed and then gently pressed, giving a clean must with fewer tannins. The must is clarified by settling before fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in neutral steel tanks, which preserve the grapes' naturally fresh aromas.

Ageing

The wine matures for several months on regularly stirred lees before bottling.

Tasting profile

Graceful and elegant, aromatic and full-flavoured, with remarkable purity.

Label / history

The "I Feudi di Romans" range takes its origin from respect, love and reverence for the life-giving power of the land. The rich, fertile soils along the Isonzo are its birthplace.
