Mianis Bianco is the introduction to the fabulous world of Enzo Pontoni's white wines. The 2021 cuvée of Friulano, Ribolla, Sauvignon Bianco and Chardonnay opens on the nose with peach, apricot and camomile. On the palate, it is well-textured and brilliant in its tension curve, with a full, round flavour of peach, juicy pear and a fresh, balanced and long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Light straw yellow. Offers very fruity aromas of pear, peach and apricot. Fresh, lively and dense on the palate, with lively acidity framing and lifting the flavours of orange peel, apricot, lemongrass and resin. The finish is youthful, silky and long. A classic Friulano with real depth and a true essence of pear. Very long and lively, with subtle fruit sweetness on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine herbaceous and spicy aroma, delicate hints of pineapple and blossom honey. Multifaceted and complex flavour with beautiful minerality, juicy hints of fruit and a fine acidity. White fruit and a slight hint of mint on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep gold. Slightly restrained, spicy aromas of yellow and green fruits on the nose, with hints of ginger and sage. Then very Sauvignon-like in the mouth with precise and well-structured flavours of passion fruit, fig, sage and banana. The finish is long, very rich and balanced, with an impression of increasing opulence. SUPERIORE.DE

It is not every year that Enzo Pontoni produces a single-varietal Malvasia from the small Mont di Zuc parcel. With the 2022 vintage, a few hundred bottles were once again bottled. Pale straw yellow in colour. Very rich, inviting bouquet of oak, pear and peach that immediately casts a spell. Lots of pressure and power on the palate - an intensity that otherwise only a red wine possesses. The long finish is characterised by notes of lemon, minerality and well-integrated wood. Be sure to aerate and serve at approx. 12°. A long-lasting pleasure with savoury dishes and sushi. SUPERIORE.DE

Lavender, violets, mocha, plums, dark spices and new leather on the nose. This cuvée of Merlot and Refosco is hard to beat in terms of complexity and complexity. Long and persistent with a finesse-rich finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Ribolla Gialla Pettarin by Enzo Pontoni is a precise and concentrated expression of the northern Italian autochthonous grape variety. In its most natural state, as it could hardly be better interpreted, it offers a clear intensity with a bouquet full of exotic fruits, apricots and fragrant yellow roses. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and almost full-bodied, with a long final is tense and immensely intriguing. SUPERIORE.DE

Rich bouquet of plums, sour cherries, graphite, flowers and minerals. Vibrant and highly precise, this muscular Refosco presents itself on the palate, one literally bites into the fruit and subsequently reveals an elegance on the palate, which, accompanied by well-dosed tannin and an enormous depth of fruit, leads to a never-ending finish. Monumental and subtle at the same time. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is rosy and wickedly fresh with depths of dark raspberries, sage and hints of cracked black pepper. This washes across the palate with a staining wave of intense red and black fruits, drenching the senses in primary concentration. Deep and youthfully inward, the 2018 has building tannins that clench down hard through the finale while resonating with wild berries, licorice and penetrating spices. Yet, through it all, the Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso remains perfumed and lifted. A few years of cellaring will be necessary to enjoy this to its full effect." Vinous

Crème de cassis, graphite, smoke, new leather, spices and blackberry jam are some of the many notes that the Merlot Buri develops. Rich, multi-layered and creamy on the palate, it radiates remarkable depth. Nevertheless, it is less tannic and over-concentrated than in the past. Dark and of impressive finesse as it progresses. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Merlot Buri is youthfully inward and intense, blending licorice with musky black currants, lavender and crushed stone. This is texturally thrilling, dense and enveloping with dark red and blue fruits that stain the palate. Mentholated herbs and mineral tones lift the fine-grain tannins. Built for the distance, this leaves a sage and chalky concentration that cakes the senses. The 2020 is a bruiser, holding its power in reserve." Vinous

The single-varietal Refosco "Cossut" is named after the vineyard of the same name. Like all of Miani's single-vineyard wines, it is only produced in very small quantities and impresses with its complexity, depth, elegance and magical fruit. Dark fruits, smoke and tar overwhelm the palate with soft, plush, velvety richness. It's amazing how weightless this full-bodied red wine really is. The red parade variety of Friuli leaves no room for further interpretation here. SUPERIORE.DE

Refosco from the smallest vineyard "La Mont di Zuc" impresses on the palate with a complex potpourri of plums, sour cherries, graphite, flowers and minerals. This towering, massive wine remains extraordinarily pristine: in fact, it tastes like biting into a perfectly ripened grape from this very special site! As it progresses, a deep, complex register develops, composed precisely to retain the famous Miani elegance and freshness that can only be achieved with the utmost care in the vineyard and cellar. SUPERIORE.DE

Fleshy and overripe on the still youthful nose, only gradually revealing spicy aromas, dried rose petals, bright red stone fruit and menthol. The palate is concentrated and supple with dense tannins and sweet fruit, full of energy, spicy and supple, with red and blue fruits in cool tones that ride on a wave of saline minerals. The zesty acidity makes your mouth water and finishes with dramatic length and a salty liquorice note that lingers indefinitely with fine-grained tannins. A benchmark Merlot with a great future.
