Vie Di Romans 2022 Chardonnay Friuli Isonzo Ciampagnis
Vie di Romans 2022 Chardonnay Friuli Isonzo “Ciampagnis” is a sleek, mineral-driven Chardonnay with Friuli’s signature clarity—bright citrus and tropical fruit framed by alpine-herb freshness and a quietly creamy, savory finish. It’s a refined, gastronomic white that reads more “precision and terroir” than overt oak, delivering energy, purity, and length in a confidently modern style.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Crafted in Friuli Venezia Giulia within the Friuli Isonzo DOC, “Ciampagnis” is Vie di Romans’ focused Chardonnay expression from a distinct Isonzo site—shaped by the region’s luminous days, cooling influences, and a strong sense of place that translates into tension and mineral detail. Vie di Romans is known for meticulous vineyard work and a technical, detail-driven approach in the cellar, aiming for varietal purity, texture, and longevity rather than heavy-handed richness.
The wine is produced from 100% Chardonnay and is built around freshness and definition: careful fruit selection, clean fermentations, and an élevage approach that prioritizes aromatic precision and a polished mouthfeel. In warmer vintages like 2022, the estate style emphasizes balance—keeping the fruit generous yet controlled, and allowing herbal lift and mineral structure to carry the finish.
Critics Reviews
James Suckling awards the 2022 Ciampagnis 92 points, emphasizing its tight, slightly herbaceous profile with a core of pink grapefruit and mango, a silky texture, and refined, fruit-driven length.
Wine Spectator scores the 2022 Ciampagnis 91 points, noting bright pineapple and persimmon flavors, accents of orchard blossom and mountain herbs, a richer hint of grilled macadamia nut, and a creamy, mineral-laced finish.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Orchard blossoms and mountain herbs over bright citrus—pink grapefruit zest—followed by pineapple, ripe persimmon, and a subtle toasted-nut nuance that suggests grilled macadamia.
Palate: Sleek and finely textured, with a light-to-medium-bodied glide that carries mango and citrus through the mid-palate. The fruit feels vivid rather than heavy, balanced by savory herbal tones and a stony mineral line that keeps everything focused.
Finish: Clean, persistent, and quietly creamy—mineral-laced and refreshing, with lingering citrus peel, tropical fruit echoes, and a gentle nutty savoriness.
