The vines, trained using simple guyot and spur cordon methods, benefit from optimal exposures that favour the development of the bunches. The area is characterised by its \u003cstrong\u003emoderately deep soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, fertile and well-drained, with a reddish clay fraction due to the presence of iron and aluminium oxides. These colluvial clays, formed by surface erosion of morainic slopes, impart an unmistakable territorial imprint to the glass, ensuring the grapes achieve \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e and giving the wine its characteristic \u003cstrong\u003eclear and savoury expression\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with fermentation at a controlled temperature lasting about twenty days. Maturation then continues with \u003cstrong\u003eageing in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e in contact with the lees for nine months, a key technique to support the wine’s structure and promote perfect \u003cstrong\u003earomatic integration\u003c\/strong\u003e. Afterwards, the wine completes its journey with a further eight months of bottle ageing. This meticulous production protocol consolidates the smoothness of the texture and the \u003cstrong\u003elively freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in a harmonious, rich tasting experience with a decisive and persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegance of the region is fully expressed in the Vie di Romans Chardonnay 2024, a prestigious white wine from the \u003cstrong\u003eFriuli Isonzo DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e.
