The Vie di Romans 2020 Friuli Isonzo Sauvignon Blanc Piere shows early development, with a deeper golden hue and evolving aromas of hydrocarbon, lemon preserve and Golden Delicious apple. The palate remains balanced and composed, with a drying mineral and saline edge that carries through the finish, alongside subtle hints of caramel. Despite its evolution, the wine retains freshness and elegance, offering a nuanced and very pretty expression.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
