Four grape varieties, one principle: uncompromising. While other winegrowers compose their cuvées according to formulas, Enzo Pontoni decides anew each year what proportions the vintage requires. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and the autochthonous Refosco (Tazzelenghe) – are combined in varying proportions, but always with the same signature. The vinification follows the rhythm of the decades. Merlot provides the dark fruit, Cabernet Sauvignon the structure, Cabernet Franc the vegetal finesse – and Refosco the indomitable acidity that gives the wine its backbone. The components rest for twenty-four months in French barriques before Enzo marries them to create a cuvée that is more than the sum of its parts.

Deep ruby red with violet reflections. Aromas of plum and sour cherry emerge from the glass, accompanied by black pepper, dried violets and a hint of liquorice. A wine of rare duality unfolds on the palate: the velvety tannins of the Merlot meet the racy freshness of the Refosco, dark fruit meets earthy spice, opulence meets precision. The long final has that mineral undertone that only the Ponca soils of Buttrio can give. A red wine like a Friulian tale – rooted in yesterday, written for tomorrow. SUPERIORE.DE
