Mont di Zuc is the stony vineyard in Buttrio from which Enzo Pontoni produces one of his rarest wines. But what remains when the vineyard does not have its own name? A wine that also contains some of his Malvasia grapes from other vineyards ... and that has been given time. While other producers release their vintages in the spring after the harvest, Enzo is deliberately pausing this time. The 2023 is being released now, a full year later – not out of necessity, but out of conviction. For Miani, time is not a variable, but a "tool", so to speak. Malvasia Istriana, as it is called here, fermented in French barriques, matured for twelve months on the fine lees and only now, with the necessary bottle maturity, released for sale.

Intense straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose is captivating with aromas of yellow peach and lemon zest, acacia honey and almond, interspersed with white flowers and a hint of herbal spice. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate, with a lively acidity that balances the nutty character of the variety. The final: long, mineral, with an aftertaste of honey and salt. Patience, transformed into wine. SUPERIORE.DE
