Spent 8 months on lees and bottle aged further 10 months.
Passion fruit, mango, floral notes, sweet spice, vanilla nuances: all the scents seem to come to life in the glass and come to the nose literally seducing it. The palate continues to be very expressive, with the florals dominating the other flavours. It is deep, vivid and structured. Very well done. The Flor di Uis is almost always, every year, one of the best wines from Vie di Romans. It will live up to 20 years. Perfect with seafood and crustaceans. Excellent with prawn risotto.
Slightly lower in price compared to this estate's mono-variety wines, the 2016 Friuli Isonzo Flors di Uis is a blend of 45% Malvasia Istriana, 40% Riesling Renano and 15% Friulano. Production is 23,286 bottles. This unoaked white blend shows a razor-sharp delivery of primary fruit aromas, with zesty freshness and citrusy acidity on the close, followed by white jasmine and honey. The wine shows beautifully in the glass, with a radiant and brilliant appearance.
