Description

A deeper and more intense expression of Sauvignon, with its aromas of ripe citrus, passion fruit and white peach intertwined with notes of sage, crushed nettle and a smoky, flinty nuance. The palate is powerful yet controlled, showing dense layers of concentrated fruit supported by vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral core, with subtle savoury tones adding complexity and grip. Serious and long, it finishes with impressive persistence, saline freshness and a sense of precision and depth that mark it out as one of the most compelling interpretations of the variety.

Miani

Enzo Pontoni of Miani in Friuli Colli Orientali crafts cult‑status wines defined by extreme terroir focus and tiny yields. He farms organic, low‑yield vineyards on ponca soils, nurturing old vines and often vinifying each cru separately. In the cellar, fermentations proceed with natural yeasts and minimal intervention, with barrel ageing in French oak tailored to each wine. Miani’s taut, ageworthy whites and profound reds (Merlot, Refosco) express intense purity, minerality and site specificity.
