Miani Ribolla Gialla ‘Pettarin’ 2022
Friuli Colli Orientali, Italy — Dry white cult wine
Ribolla Gialla from century-old vines in the “Grand Cru” of Rosazzo
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Description
The stark contrast between one of Friuli’s most spartan cellars and some of the country’s — some say the world’s — most breathtaking vineyards, cultivated like a garden and framed by the Julian Alps, hints at what you’ll find in this cult Italian producer’s wines: pure terroir, minimal intervention. The calloused hands and sunburnt face of the brilliant Enzo Pontoni reveal a true farmer — an enlightened grower who quietly crafts Italy’s finest white wines.
Produced from 80- to 100-year-old vines in the heart of Rosazzo — the true “Grand Cru” of Ribolla Gialla in Italy — this wine embodies the austere, mineral elegance that defines Enzo Pontoni’s hand.
The name “Pettarin” honours the family who once cultivated this parcel, which Pontoni spent years restoring and fully acquired in 2016. Grown in classic ponca soils (marl and sandstone), this vineyard delivers Ribolla of exceptional depth and refinement.
A naturally vigorous variety, Ribolla Gialla requires extreme pruning to concentrate quality. With a minimal intervention approach, fermentation proceeds on the lees, without bâtonnage or racking, for about 12 months — respecting the quiet, pure character of the terroir.
This is a rare, cult white — coveted by top Michelin-starred restaurants and collectors who know there’s Ribolla… and then there’s Miani Pettarin.

Tasting Notes
Structured and deep, with citrus, white flowers and wet stone. Austere yet mouthwatering, with a long, textured finish and the potential to age beautifully.
