Vie di Romans – Pioneers of Friuli’s Fine Wines

Nestled in the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Vie di Romans has established itself as one of Italy’s most distinguished wineries, renowned for its meticulous approach to viticulture and groundbreaking white wines. Founded in 1978 by Gianfranco Gallo, the estate has continually pushed the boundaries of Italian winemaking, showcasing the exceptional terroir of the Isonzo DOC through wines of remarkable depth, elegance, and longevity.

A Terroir-Driven Vision

Located in Mariano del Friuli, Vie di Romans benefits from a unique microclimate shaped by the Adriatic Sea, the Julian Alps, and the gravelly, mineral-rich soils. This combination creates optimal conditions for slow grape maturation, enhancing aromatic complexity and structure. The winery’s philosophy is deeply rooted in low-yield farming, meticulous vineyard management, and extended aging—a rare practice for Italian white wines.

Innovation & Precision in Winemaking

A hallmark of Vie di Romans is its unwavering commitment to quality. Unlike many producers in the region, the estate does not release its wines until two years after harvest, allowing for full integration of flavors and textures. Each wine undergoes careful vinification, extended lees contact, and precise temperature control, resulting in complex and expressive wines that continue to evolve in the bottle.

A Portfolio of Distinction

While Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Grigio form the core of its white wine production, the estate also crafts exceptional Friulano and Malvasia Istriana. Among its most celebrated labels:

• Piere Sauvignon Blanc – A benchmark Sauvignon with intense minerality, citrus, and floral notes.
• Dessimis Pinot Grigio – A rare, skin-contact Pinot Grigio with a rich texture and delicate spice.
• Ciampagnis Chardonnay – A Burgundian-style Chardonnay with refined structure and aging potential.
• Flors di Uis – A unique blend of Malvasia Istriana, Friulano, and Riesling, offering aromatic complexity.

Legacy & Global Recognition

Vie di Romans has earned widespread critical acclaim, consistently receiving high scores from Wine Advocate, James Suckling, and Gambero Rosso. Gianfranco Gallo’s dedication to terroir-driven winemaking has placed Friuli on the world stage, proving that Italian whites can be just as profound and age-worthy as their red counterparts.

Today, Vie di Romans continues to be a reference point for Friulian wines, producing some of Italy’s most sought-after and collectible whites, admired for their precision, intensity, and longevity.
