This historic Friuli estate spans about 70ha and has been led by Gianfranco Gallo since 1978. With its deep commitment to expressing the Isonzo terroir, the winery focuses primarily on white wines, releasing them at least two years after harvest to ensure balance and integration. This flagship Pinot Grigio, from Mariano del Friuli, stands out for its pale-copper ramato hue, derived not from extended skin contact but from the grape’s natural pigments. Without malolactic fermentation and aged for nine months on its lees in 228-litre French oak barriques, it combines texture, precision and freshness. Melania Battiston: Lovely spiciness, with bright berries, pink peppercorn and rose petals. Distinctive palate, very textural. One of the best ramatos. Andrea Briccarello: Broad nose of plum, wild strawberry, orange peel, pink grapefruit. Lively, clean and intense. Melon, herbs and a long, salty finish. Bruno Besa: Very aromatic: flowers, rose petals. Great texture, rich, intense. Layers of dried fruits, pink grapefruit and wild berries.

Varietal Pinot Gris

The Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris grape varietal is now one of the most widely grown vines in the world, due to the surge in popularity of Pinot Grigio wines over the past twenty years or so. These grayish-blue fruits, which hang in their distinctively conical bunches, are responsible for a very broad range of wines famous for their variety of color tones and flavors Pinot Grigio varietal grapes are highly influenced by terroir, climate and particularly the skill and expertise of the vintners who process them. As such, there are full bodied, amber colored wines made from this grape, and there are equally delicious yet far leaner, paler, lighter bodied and crisp white wines made from the same species in other parts of the world.

Country Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Friuli-Venezia Giulia is an important Italian wine region, situated high in the northernmost parts of the country, and close to the Slovenian and Austrian borders. As such, there is a considerable Germanic influence on the wines of this region, with varietals such as Riesling growing alongside Italian classics such as Pinot Grigio. The finest wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia are considered to be those which capture the alpine essence of the region, with its pine scented terroirs and crystal mountain waters which run down from the mountains. There are also several interesting lesser known grape varietals processed in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which gives the region a unique wine culture which the local wine makers are immensely proud of, and which makes the region a fascinating one to explore.

Wine Advocate

The Vie di Romans 2024 Friuli Isonzo Pinot Grigio Dessimis shows a distinctive ramato (or copper-colored) hue that comes not from maceration but from the natural pigmentation of the fully ripe skins. This biotype, with links to Pinot Noir, gives the wine a deeper phenolic structure, especially in the 2024 vintage, which shows more intensity than the lighter 2023. Vinified without oxygen to preserve freshness, the wine offers delicate yet primary aromas of Williams pear with a subtle spicy edge. The palate carries notable grip and a phenolic bite, almost drinking like a red wine, with texture and structure defining the finish.

Winery Notes

COLOR: Slightly pink in color (ramato style). NOSE: The nose is fine, with delicate notes of crushed flowers, sweet red berries, peach and a hint of citrus fruit. FLAVOR: On the palate it is fresh with a full body and some tannins that add persistence and structure.
