More information on wine critics and ratings

Light golden with a subtle, elegant nose of summer flowers, acacia blossom and hints of honeysuckle.

The wine is lightly spiced, with the judicious oak ageing bringing notes of vanilla and cinnamon.

It shows lovely buttery, honeyed and floral characters, all lifted on the finish by a lively freshness that is characteristic of this area of Italy.

This is in large part due to geographical situation, with estate vineyards occupying some of the finest sites of the Isonzo river valley, on well-draining alluvial soils over calcareous rock, benefiting from the sunny but cool conditions where the continental easterly 'bora' wind tempers the warmth coming up from the Adriatic.

But this great natural potential would be nothing without the dynamic direction of owner Gianfranco Gallo, who has relentlessly pursued quality here since he began bottling the family's production back in 1978.

Along the way he survived a lawsuit from the world's largest wine producer, pioneered single-vineyard cuvées when others were focused on large volume varietals, and learnt better than anyone else in Italy how to manage extended barrel ageing of white wines.

Like top Burgundies, the Vie di Romans wines remain elegant and pure despite their natural richness, concentration and complexity.

James Suckling (JS) : 95 Points (2020)
Lots of deep fruit in this chard with apple-puree, pie-crust, and vanilla-bean character. Full and layered with beautiful fruit and a long, intense finish.

Robert Parker (RP) : 94 Points (2019)
The 2019 Friuli Isonzo Chardonnay Vie di Romans is citrusy and tart, but the wine also has a soft side with orchard fruit, Golden Delicious apple, quince, crusty pie and toasted almond. This is a subtle, medium-bodied white with a long, silky finish. It expresses the elegance of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 91 Points (2019)
Notes of smoke and honey add depth and richness to this wine’s crisp apple and citrus flavors. Brisk and taut, with hints of green spice, it will be even better with a year of cellaring.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 91 Points (2016)
Light- to medium-bodied and harmonious, with a lightly juicy, round frame for flavors of poached peach, quince paste, jasmine and pastry. Offers a creamy, spiced finish. Drink now through 2023. 4,500 cases made

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 91 Points (2015)
Mature orchard fruit, candied citrus, toasted oak and vanilla aromas emerge in the glass. The round polished palate offers baked yellow apple, pineapple and toasted almond while a stony mineral note lends depth.
