The calloused hands and sunburnt face of the brilliant Enzo Pontoni reveal a true vigneron — a luminous farmer quietly crafting the finest white wines in all of Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1075\" data-start=\"687\"\u003eSome visits change the way you see wine. Spending time with Enzo Pontoni, in the heart of Friuli, was one such experience. Quiet, focused, with deliberate gestures and a penetrating gaze — Enzo speaks little, but his wines say everything. And among them, the Merlot “Buri” holds a special place: a wine with soul, gravitas and restrained power that left us speechless after the first sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1324\" data-start=\"1077\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-end=\"1109\" data-start=\"1081\"\u003eMiani Merlot “Buri” 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e is a rare wine, from a single parcel of old vines.
