Limitation of 2 articles per customer “Saurint” Sauvignon Bianco Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2021
Lively straw yellow. Explosive tropical nose of papaya, lime, passion fruit, roasted banana and grapefruit, plus a fine, smoky minerality. On the palate, the corresponding impression, infinitely many layers pile up to a taste experience, which is almost indecent. Rarely have we had such a pure, energetic and concentrated wine in the glass ... SUPERIORE.DEread more- Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon

Limitation of 3 articles per customerRefosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2018
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

Limitation of 2 articles per customer“Cossut” Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2020
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

Limitation of 1 articles per customer“Buri” Merlot Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2020
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.

Fleshy and overripe on the still youthful nose, only gradually revealing spicy flavours, dried rose petals, bright red stone fruit and menthol. Concentrated and supple on the palate with dense tannins and sweet fruit. A benchmark Merlot with a great future. SUPERIORE.DE

The boutique winery Miani and the great winegrower Enzo Pontoni with his penchant for perfectionism are already a myth during his lifetime. The tiny, inconspicuous farmhouse located in the middle of the fields of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC in the municipality of Buttrio is known exclusively for its cult wines. The wines that achieve the highest prices and ratings are usually so scarce that even renowned wine critics hardly catch a drop from the battery of bottles, which comprises at least eight labels and has so far never reached five-digit annual production figures. As his advice is in great demand, the entire regional wine-growing sector benefits from the high level of competence of the owner of the estate, who is considered to be modest, silent and sometimes also somewhat difficult. Pontoni first worked as an engineer, but then took over the ancient vineyards from his late father out of a true passion for viticulture.
On the small farm, named after the family name of his mother, Enzo Pontoni cultivates in the majority of the rented plots, besides the international varieties Merlot, Cabernet and Chardonnay, also local grapes like Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Pignolo, Tazzelenghe, Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Schioppettino according to strict biological principles. In winter, the vines are rigorously pruned by the ingenious winegrower, who is obsessed with his work. Almost no grape is good enough for the uncompromising loner to be processed in the undemanding but more than sufficient cellar. Each vineyard is treated by Pontoni according to its own microclimate so that the specific personality of the vines is fully expressed. The whites and reds are usually vinified by the winegrower in large oak barrels without temperature control. So that he can take care of the essentials with infinite patience, a good friend was hired for marketing and sales without further ado.
The winery, located near the border with Slovenia, produces complex and sophisticated wines that are often inaccessible and idiosyncratic in their youth, but later radiate great class and personality. While the internationally renowned white wines of the Miani winery are very pure - the Sauvignon Blanc is a typical example - the reds also play their part not only in Italy's first wine league: some wine connoisseurs even consider the red wines to be one of the greatest highlights of the present.

"Enzo Pontoni literally lives in his vineyards, at home only for lunch and dinner. I can't remember many wines that I would rather have on my dining table. The wines are among the best that have ever been produced anywhere."Robert Parker
"He is undisputedly the master, numerous are his students – for the benefit of the entire Friulian wine culture."Gambero Rosso
