Miani Chardonnay 2023
Friuli Colli Orientali, Italy — Rare and exceptional white

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Description
The stark contrast between one of Friuli’s most humble, austere cellars and some of the most breathtaking vineyards in Italy (some say in the world!), meticulously cultivated and framed by the Julian Alps, perfectly reflects what you’ll find in the wines of this cult producer: pure terroir and minimal intervention. The calloused hands and sun-worn face of the brilliant Enzo Pontoni reveal that here we are in the presence of a true farmer — a gifted artisan silently forging some of Italy’s greatest white wines.

The Miani Chardonnay 2023 is a truly rare Italian white, crafted with precision and sensitivity by Enzo Pontoni in Friuli. Sourced from old vines with extremely low yields, this wine expresses the purest, deepest side of Chardonnay, with intensity and mineral elegance.

Vinified with absolute precision in French oak barrels, this is a structured white capable of aging gracefully, yet also charming enough to enjoy now on special occasions.

A white wine that combines intensity, freshness and mineral precision — taking Chardonnay to heights few can reach. A true Italian collectible white wine.

Tasting Notes
Intense and complex aromas of orchard fruit, lemon zest, white flowers and subtle oak spice. On the palate, layered and textured, with mineral precision, bright acidity and a long, elegant finish.
