“Cultore della pianta” and “Senso del Terroir” (Sense of Terroir) are the values on which Enzo Pontoni’s life as a viticulturist is based, an established icon in Friuli and a giant of Italian enology, they brought Miani winery straight to worldwide success. An experience of 35 years matured since he was a child in the small village of Buttrio, helping his grandfather and his father in the vineyards and increasing a deep and reserved bond with his land which will shape his character. He studied for passion as an autodidact the most important enological regions of the world (Burgundy above all) acquiring notions and styles which will lead him to the production of his first label in 1981. In 20 hectares of vineyards on the eastern hills of Friuli, rich in Ponca, he cultivates local grapes such as Friulano, Malvasia, Ribolla and Refosco as well as allochthonous grapes such as Sauvignon and Chardonnay by adopting the technique of Sovescio (green manure) which consists in fertilizing the soil with natural organic substances, all different compounds according to the grape variety. His philosophy is meticulous, low yields with two bunches per plant from which he gets not even 10 hectoliters per hectare, perfect phenolic maturation and mixed vines in every vineyard in order to increase the complexity of each one exalting hidden qualities. Vinifications are precise and separate, a very limited production of not even 10,000 bottles where there is absolutely no use of steel but only barriques and tonneaux (80% used) both for white and red wines in order to guarantee longevity and evolution out of the ordinary. The very high demand in the market has made it an unfailing name in the collections of the most passionate wine lovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Known in Friuli as Malvasia Istriana, it is a type of grape widely spread throughout the Mediterranean thanks to its good adaptability, including the Friulian hills where it is able to release all its pleasantness. Obtained from a small plot of land rich in Ponca and stones near Buttrio, called Mont di Zuc because of the area where it is located, the grapes are lightly pressed for 2 hours and then fermented in French oak barriques \u2154 used with the use of indigenous and selected yeasts and then kept in the same casks for at least 12 months. It is one of the rarest labels of the selection with a very low production, it is capable of striking the drinker for its aromas ranging from dried fruit to honey, it is a ripe and very mineral wine with good acidity and crispness which blend in a long and persistent finish.<\/p>\n
