WineSaint
Mineral-driven and austere, showing crushed oyster shell and lime zest over a core of green apple and bitter almond. The palate carries serious weight without sacrificing tension, though it remains tightly coiled and demanding. Time will unlock white peach and herbal complexity lurking beneath this stern exterior. Cellar until 2023 or decant extensively.

→Enzo Pontoni's tiny Friulian estate is among Italy's most quietly revered, producing whites and reds from Colli Orientali del Friuli that age far longer than their reputation suggests they should.
