Miani Friulano 2022

Miani Friulano 2022
Friuli Colli Orientali, Italy — Deep and rare white
A reinvented classic by Enzo Pontoni

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Description
In Friuli, few wines are more tied to local identity than Friulano — and no one interprets it with more purity and depth than Enzo Pontoni.

Sourced from old parcels planted in classic ponca soils (marl and sandstone), the Miani Friulano 2022 delivers everything we expect from this iconic producer: concentration without heaviness, textural elegance and an understated, captivating perfume. Pontoni vinifies with minimal intervention, allowing the wine to faithfully express its terroir. No bâtonnage, no corrections — just patience, obsessive attention, and absolute respect for the grape.

Fermented and aged on fine lees, in stainless steel or used wood (depending on the parcel), the wine reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, fresh almond and a subtle salinity, so typical of Friuli. It is broad on the palate, yet tense. Deep, without ostentation. A cult wine proving once again that simplicity can be the highest form of sophistication.
