The 2023 Miani Malvasia is a rare, high-intensity white from the reclusive Enzo Pontoni, produced only in years that allow for full varietal expression. The nose is an explosion of ripe pear, apricot, and tropical fruits, layered with delicate notes of honeysuckle, almond, and flint. On the palate, it is characteristically "Miani"—massively concentrated and oily, yet driven by a firm, vibrating acidity and a deep saline minerality. The finish is long and complex, showing hints of orange zest and crushed stone. It is a powerful, "flamboyant" Malvasia Istriana that balances its immense weight with remarkable precision and elegance.
