Miani Rosso 2020
Friuli Colli Orientali DOC, Italy
────────────────────────────
Description
The stark contrast between the most spartan cellar of Friuli’s revered producers and some of Italy’s (arguably the world’s) most breathtaking vineyards — cultivated like a garden and framed by the Julian Alps — already hints at what to expect from this cult Italian producer: pure terroir, minimal intervention. The weathered hands and sun-burnished face of the brilliant Enzo Pontoni also make it clear that we are in the presence of a true contadino — an enlightened grower quietly crafting Italy’s finest white wines.
Miani Rosso 2020 is one of the rarest and most intense expressions of contemporary Italian winemaking. Produced by the legendary and meticulous Enzo Pontoni in Buttrio, within Friuli Colli Orientali, this wine has achieved cult status among connoisseurs.
It displays a deep ruby colour. The nose reveals crushed wild berries, dark floral notes, pepper, and a hint of sage. The palate is seductively silky, with a pleasing inner sweetness quickly offset by a cascade of tart wild berries and mineral tones. The finish is fresh and subtly structured, with lingering hints of violets and lavender, while a zesty citrus twist adds contrast.
