History
The history of Vie di Romans is a story that dates back more than 100 years. The Gallo family, especially thanks to the commitment and dedication of Basilio, Stelio, Gianfranco and the other family members, has been able to make its way into the Italian and global wine scene. Since 1978 the company has been completely under the leadership of Gianfranco Gallo. Under his leadership the company experienced various turning points such as in 1982, when it began to invest in the production of very high quality wines; in 1989, when the new cellar was built on three levels; in 1990 when the grapes began to be vinified in purity and 1992 when the wines began to be marketed two years after the harvest.

Production method
The bunches, upon arriving in the cellar, undergo separation from the stalks and a short maceration at low temperatures before being pressed and sent for fermentation in stainless steel tanks, maintained at a controlled temperature between 16 and 19 °C for approximately 18-22 days. Subsequently, the wine is aged for at least 8 months in the aforementioned tanks, on its own yeasts, before being bottled and left to mature in the bottle for a further 10 months before marketing.
