Vie di Romans - Sauvignon Isonzo del Friuli Piere 2017 (750ml)
Vinous: 91 Points
Drinking window: 2021 - 2029
The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris is intense in its display of sour lemon and grapefruit mixed with wild herbs in an air of sweet white smoke. It’s soft and pliant in feel, and more savory than expected. Vivid notes of ripe nectarine and green, sour, patch melon complicated by crystalline mineral tones and penetrating acidity create a grippy feel toward the close. This finishes with extreme length and sapidity, lingering on inner earth tones and florals. The 2017 is undoubtedly a warm vintage wine, sporting a zesty, high-energy personality; yet it remains balanced. I can’t help but notice a similarity to the 2008 and 2013 vintages of Vieris, which happen to be two favorites of mine.
