Cellar
The winery has been run with great success since 1978 by Gianfranco, who, through rigorous and daring viticultural choices, combined with careful oenological interpretation, has established a qualitative style of great personality, which has distinguished the Vie di Romans winery over the last twenty years.
Important milestones in this last historical journey have been: 1978 first bottling and first commercial label, 1982 start of a cycle of viticultural modernisation aimed at high quality, 1989 construction of the new cellar built on three floors, 1990 vinification of grapes separated according to cru of origin, 1992 commercial release of the '90 vintage and from this date onwards white wines will always be marketed two years after the harvest.
Description
The Sauvignon 'Piere' from the Friuli winery Vie di Romans is made from pure Sauvignon grapes harvested in the Rive Alte vineyards. It is a surprising and intense wine with a profound purity. Piere is a benchmark label for the variety. It is literally a fairytale wine.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Golden yellow. The multiple aromas almost seem to explode in the glass. It has a complex bouquet, with aromas of white flowers, beeswax, tomato leaf and tropical fruit. The palate is sensual and deep, smooth, silky and creamy, with a persistence in which the fruity pulp maintains an impressive duration.
Storage time:
over 8 years
Vinification
cold pellicular maceration. This is followed by static decantation and fermentation for 18-22 days in steel containers.
