Score 94/100 · Drink 2021-2028, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Feb 2021
The Vie di Romans 2017 Friuli Isonzo Chardonnay Vie di Romans opens to a saturated off-gold color with abundant layers of apricot, pear and cantaloup melon. This hot-vintage Chardonnay, aged on the lees for 10 months in French oak, is rich and opulent sporting a full frame and enriched texture. You could pair this beauty with buttered lobster or most dishes involving veal or pork given the power and the intensity of the mouthfeel. Subtle mineral notes frame the rich fruit. Production is 57,044 bottles.

A medium-bodied white with a solid core of fruit and creamy texture. Dried apricot and apple character throughout. Tangy acidity at the end. Drink now.
