Miani
Enzo Pontoni took over the family vineyards
nearly 11 years ago after his father passed away. Enzo,
who stands almost seven feet tall, worked as an engineer
for 17 years but eventually had to return to his home and
his true passion. This reclusive maverick owns a mere 4
hectares of vineyards and rents another 9, all of which
he runs organically and from which he produces less than
700 cases a year. A man of the land, Enzo practices the
same principles set by masters like Valentini, Gravner,
Quintarelli, and Radikon. He works in shockingly unassuming
cellars - which he calmly admits are falling apart - where
Enzo transforms his exceptionally minuscule yields of a
dozen different varieties into delightful, rich wines. The
result is a tiny line of decadent, full-bodied, complex
wines that are near impossible to obtain and one of which
is perhaps Friuli's greatest example of Sauvignon Blanc.
