Description
What kind of wine is it
Dis Cumieris Malvasia by Vie di Romans is an aromatic dry white wine made from Malvasia Istriana grapes in the Friuli Isonzo area. The nose reveals enticing notes of tropical fruit, mandarin and orange blossom, combined with subtle hints of toast and white pepper. On the palate, it is soft and balanced, supported by a distinct savoury and mineral character and a fresh finish. A harmonious and persistent profile, ideal for elegantly accompanying fish dishes and delicate vegetarian recipes.
Where does it come from
The vines grow in Mariano del Friuli, in the heart of the Friuli Isonzo area. Here, the rows, trained on trellises, sink their roots into shallow soils, well-drained and rich in gravel. The marked presence of iron and aluminium oxides gives the land a distinctive reddish hue, imparting a recognisable minerality to the Malvasia Istriana. This specific geological composition enhances the authentic character of the area, cultivated with dedication by the Gallo family since the early twentieth century.
How is it produced
After a meticulous manual harvest, the grapes ferment in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The technical choice to avoid malolactic fermentation allows the vibrant freshness of the varietal aromas to be preserved intact. The wine then rests for eight months on the lees, a fundamental step that increases its density and flavour volume without compromising its aromatic precision. The result is a lively and exciting glass, capable of evolving beautifully over the years.
History and Curiosities
The Dis Cumieris is the prestigious Istrian Malvasia by Vie di Romans, an authentic expression of the Mariano del Friuli terroir in the renowned Friuli Isonzo DOC. This label celebrates the centuries-old dedication of the Gallo family, outstanding winegrowers since 1900. The uniqueness of this white wine comes from the distinctive reddish soil, rich in iron oxides, aluminium and gravel, which gives the wine a pronounced savoury and mineral character. The grapes, meticulously hand-picked, produce a harmonious and fresh glass, capable of evolving beautifully over time.
