Miani, Ribolla Pettarin, 2022
Ribolla Gialla is Friuli's proudest native white grape, and this is Miani's only bottling of it, from the Pettarin vineyard in Rosazzo, long considered a grand cru site for the variety. The vines are extraordinary, between 80 and 100 years old, rooted in classic ponca marl, and because Ribolla is naturally vigorous, Enzo Pontoni slashes yields hard to concentrate the fruit. It ferments on its lees for about a year with no stirring, building texture the slow way. This is allocation-only wine from an estate that makes fewer than 700 cases of everything combined, so a single-vineyard Ribolla from century-old vines is about as rare as Friuli gets.
