Description
The Malvasia Dis Cumieris Vie di Romans is a highly esteemed white wine produced in the Friuli Venezia Giulia area, in the northeast of Italy. This region is renowned for producing high-quality white wines, thanks to its temperate climate, influenced by the Adriatic Sea and the Alps, and its mineral-rich soils. The wine is made exclusively from Malvasia Istriana grapes, an indigenous variety of the region. The vineyards from which these grapes are sourced are located in the municipality of Mariano del Friuli, particularly in the area known as "Dis Cumieris." These vineyards are cultivated on predominantly clay and limestone soils, which impart a particular minerality to the wine. The production process of Malvasia Dis Cumieris Vie di Romans begins with the harvest, which usually takes place in mid-September. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit. Subsequently, the grapes are gently pressed, and the resulting must is left to ferment in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the wine is left to mature on the lees for about 8-10 months, during which it gains complexity and structure. Finally, the wine is bottled and left to age in the bottle for at least 6 months before being marketed. The Malvasia Dis Cumieris Vie di Romans is a wine of great structure and complexity, with an aromatic bouquet ranging from white flowers to tropical fruits, with notes of honey and spices. On the palate, it is full, round, and persistent, with a lovely freshness and minerality. It pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish, and aged cheeses. Pairings: The Malvasia Dis Cumieris Vie di Romans is a white wine of great structure and complexity, with good acidity and a persistent finish.
