Vie di Romans Flors di Uis 2023
(Friuli Isonzo, Italy) - [VM 92]

About the Wine:
The 150 acres of vineyards are located in a niche microclimate that benefits from soil rich in alluvial fans and minerals that have been carried there by glaciers over the millennia, as well as, the Bora winds from the east that result in large, daily temperature fluctuations. Flors di Uis is a fantasy term that in the Friulano dialect means “flowering of the grapes” and recalls the sweet, floral fragrance of the grapevine blossoms.

Tasting Notes:
Bright straw yellow color.
Charming aromatic bouquet of white flowers, golden apple,apricot, pear, honey, with mineral and citrus sensations.
On the palate the graceful flavors of Riesling and Malvasia Istriana melt perfectly with the weightand texture of Friulano. Firm acidity and and a clean, rich finish.

92 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2023 Bianco Flors di Uis wafts up with a pretty blend of white peaches, pear, exotic spice and lime zest. Its ripeness comes out first, silken and nearly oily in feel, yet quickly contrasted by a cascade of inner florals and a twang of sour melon as fresh acidity provides lift throughout. It tapers off long and perfumed, leaving a bitter twang of ginger and sour citrus that keeps the mouth watering for more." - Eric Guido (Oct 2025)
