Description
Vie di Romans' 2021 Friulano Dolée comes from Friuli Isonzo in Italy's northeastern Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. Friulano is the local white varietal, grown in this cool climate zone for its ability to balance ripeness with brightness and minerality.
This wine opens with an exotic spice character, lemon meringue, and hints of sweet mint and crystallized ginger. On the palate it's silky and supple, with ultra-ripe citrus and orchard fruits held in check by stimulating acidity that makes the wine feel more vibrant than its residual sugar content (just 1.2 grams) might suggest. The finish is long and spicy, trailing tropical melon notes that linger. Despite the sweetness impression upfront, the wine's real story is tension between fruit and acid, which gives it freshness and grip rather than heaviness.

Expert Reviews
The 2021 Friulano Dolée is exotically spiced and vibrant in the glass, with an intense burst of lemon meringue complemented by sweet mint and crystallized ginger. Silky and supple on the palate, this boasts ultra-ripe citrus and orchard fruits balanced by stimulating acidity. This finishes with outstanding length and is spicy with lingering tropical melon notes. While the 2021 comes across as sweet, it's just a trick of the acidity and fruit, as this finished at only 1.2 grams of residual sugar.
