More information on wine critics and ratings

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) : 93 Points (2020)
Lots of flinty, crushed-stone and matchstick character. Full-bodied with a very tight palate and linear texture. It’s compact and very tight.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 92 Points (2020)
This vibrant and fresh Chardonnay is loaded with bright aromas of green apples, lemon zest and freshly cut white flowers. The crisp and structured palate offers ample notes of fresh apples, stone fruit and a touch of honey. It finishes with refreshing acidity and clear-cut minerality.

Robert Parker (RP) : 94 Points (2018)
The Vie di Romans 2018 Friuli Isonzo Chardonnay Ciampagnis is beautifully contoured with aromas of peach, melon, honey and passion fruit. The bouquet is perfumed and bright, driving a long finish and silky consistency. Like most of the other whites in this portfolio, it ages on the lees (for nine months, in this case). Instead of oak, it completes this process in stainless steel for an anaerobic environment that serves to capture those direct and linear aromas. The wine concludes with a hint of dusty mineral or crushed stone that ties it to one of the most prominent characteristics of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 90 Points (2013)
Fermented and aged in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation, this offers juicy citrus and apple flavors lifted by zesty acidity. Vibrant and fresh, it’s a summertime wine for backyard barbecues.
