'Dessimis'
Friuli, Italy
Varietals:

Tasting Notes:
Dessimis by Vie di Romans is a Gambero Rosso favorite, revealing pear, apple and pineapple from the warm Adriatic Sea offset by crisp acidity with citrus overtones from the cool mountain nights. The small rocky soil introduces delicious elements of flint and minerality. A perfect compliment to grilled chicken, shellfish, pork and any summertime antipasto. Enjoy now or over the next five years.

Vie di Romans, Dessimis Pinot Grigio
You'll Never Ask For Santa Margherita Again
— LIMITED QUANTITIES —
($28.75 per bottle / $345.00 per case) Pinot Grigio has, in recent years, become a very popular summer white wine for its refreshing qualities and versatility. A vast majority of Pinot Grigio tends to be sourced  from high yielding valley floor fruit that imparts little to no varietal character. For example, Pinot Grigio Santa Margherita may be a huge crowd favorite, however, it is not the varietal's greatest expression. World class Pinot Grigio comes from the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains in Alto Adige and the Julian Alps in Friuli.
Our favorite Pinot Grigio, which happens to come from Friuli, is the 2005 Vie di Romans Dessimis; we are confident that once you taste this single vineyard white, you will never ask for Santa Margherita again. What makes Vie di Romans so unique is that the micro-climate of the Dessimis vineyard produces warms days from the Adriatic Sea giving the wine tropical flavors of  pear, apple and pineapple, yet the cool mountain nights impart crisp acidity and citrus overtones. Not to mention, the small rocky, pebbled soil introduces delicious elements of flint and minerality and an intense long finish.
Vie di Romans is one of the most highly decorated wineries by the Gambero Rosso Guide, Italy's wine bible, calling this versatile white "the archetype of the great Pinot Grigio." Enjoy now or set down for another five years. You can pair this Italian gem with grilled chicken, shellfish, pork and any summertime antipasto. Order Here.
