Miani

Italy Friuli Venezia Giulia Buttrio

Enzo Pontoni works quietly and tirelessly in his tiny plots of vineyards nestled in the hills near the small towns of Buttrio and Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali del Friuli region of Italy. 
Enzo inherited his passion from his father, Nello, who worked the vineyards mainly for family consumption and selling some grapes to neighbors.

On his small farm, Enzo 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. 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. 

Miani wines are complex and sophisticated wines that are often inaccessible and idiosyncratic in their youth, but later radiate great class and personality.

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.
