The Sauvignon Vieris from Vie Di Romans Winery
The Sauvignon Vieris from Vie Di Romans winery is named after the “Vieris” vineyard, located in the prestigious Friuli Isonzo Rive Alte area. This name was chosen to celebrate the unique terroir that characterizes this vineyard, situated in the municipality of Mariano del Friuli. The vineyards have an average age of 24 years and are densely planted with 6,000-6,500 vines per hectare. The particular soil composition, rich in skeletal structure and reddish sandy loam, contributes to giving the wine a distinctive organoleptic profile, enhancing the quality of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes, predominantly French clones.
Allow yourself to be captivated by the Sauvignon Vieris, a wine that embodies the essence of Friuli, capable of transforming every sip into an extraordinary sensory journey, where elegance and complexity merge in an embrace of unforgettable flavors.
The Winemaking
The winemaking of Sauvignon Vieris begins with de-stemming and cold skin maceration at 8 °C, to enhance the varietal aromas. Clarification occurs in a static cold setting, followed by alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures between 16 and 19 °C, using selected yeasts. The fermentation lasts between 14 and 18 days, without performing malolactic fermentation, thus preserving the wine’s freshness and vibrancy. The elevage takes place on natural lees for 9 months, with natural clarification before bottling and an 8-month bottle aging.
Tasting the wine of the winery
Sauvignon Vieris presents itself with an intriguing golden yellow color. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet rich in notes of papaya and ripe peach, with delicate hints of ginger. On the palate, the wine is fresh and harmonious, with light woody notes that enhance the exotic fruit flavors. Its well-balanced structure and full taste promise a pleasant sensory experience with each sip.
Food Pairings
This wine pairs beautifully with fish-based dishes, particularly seafood appetizers and seafood risottos. It is also ideal with white meats and soft cheeses. Its complexity and freshness make it perfect for accompanying a variety of dishes, enhancing flavors and preparations. Don’t miss the opportunity to savor the Sauvignon Vieris, a wine that invites you to explore the authentic flavors of Friuli with a touch of elegance and sophistication.
