Description

This outstanding wine delivers a poised and complex expression of Sauvignon Blanc, opening with aromas of ripe citrus, gooseberry and white peach layered with notes of elderflower, fresh herbs and a subtle smoky mineral tone. The palate is concentrated and finely structured, combining crystalline fruit with incisive acidity and a gently savoury edge, while avoiding overt varietal pungency. Focused and persistent, it finishes long and precise, with saline freshness, mineral depth and an understated intensity that highlights the purity of fruit and the distinctive character of the Colli Orientali.

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.
