Ribolla Gialla 2023 Miani
The Ribolla Gialla 2023 by Miani stands as one of the most distinguished and expressive interpretations of this native Friulian grape variety. Crafted by Enzo Pontoni, a perfectionist winemaker with an almost cult reputation, this wine belongs to the renowned Colli Orientali del Friuli appellation. The region’s defining feature is the Ponca soil — alternating layers of marl and sandstone that crumble easily, giving wines remarkable minerality, depth and tension.
Made from 100% Ribolla Gialla, the grapes come from vineyards rooted in poor, well-draining soils that naturally limit yields and enhance aromatic concentration. Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, followed by approximately 12 months of aging in barrique, a choice that adds complexity and volume without overshadowing the grape’s natural freshness.
In the glass, the wine displays an intense, luminous straw-yellow colour. The bouquet is rich and layered, offering notes of ripe yellow fruit, pastry cream, dried fruit and gentle spices. On the palate, it reveals vibrant acidity and marked salinity, signature traits of Ribolla Gialla, balanced by an enveloping softness that adds depth and harmony. The finish is long, savoury and mineral, reflecting the character of the Ponca terroir with great clarity.
Elegant, structured and deeply territorial, the Ribolla Gialla 2023 by Miani is an essential wine for enthusiasts seeking expressive, precise and high-level Friulian whites.
