Tasting notes
In 2010, proprietor Enzo Pontoni did not bottle any of his top reds. Instead, readers will find the 2010 Rosso, a gorgeous, entry-level offering that captures plenty of Miani intensity, but with less richness than is typically found in the flagship wines. Mocha, espresso, black cherries, licorice and savory herbs flow from this nuanced, chiseled Friulian red. The 2010 Rosso is beautiful and classy to the core. It will also drink well upon release.

Fleshy and bright, the 2010 Friuli Colli Orientali Rosso is a blend of 60-40 Merlot and Refosco. Red apple skin and cherry fruit come to attention, giving way to secondary aromas of leather and mild tobacco. The medium build of the wine is brightened by a good dose of acidity and sour fruit.
