Minini

Packed with plum and blackberry fruit, with a medium body and slight tannins.

Producer Information

Minini was established in 1920 when Mr. Francesco Minini, a young soldier, came back to Italy after the First World War. With little money, and a great determination he decided to start a wine business in a rural economy and a poor market. At the beginning of the 1960’s the big growth of the Company forced the Mininis’ to move into a new Winery, which is still the current Head Office.

During all these years the Minini Family never forgot its tight link with the land, developing new cooperation projects with growers all over the main production areas of Italy. This allowed the Family to widen the portfolio of wines to support its introduction on the International markets. Their strategy has been to source new wines from the unique ancient vineyards typical of Italy, with the new technologies of wine-making and Italian tradition.

Wine Making

Produced from fruit grown in the DOC Delle Venezie area, the grapes are harvested when fully mature in the first ten days of October. After crushing the must is fermented with the skins in small stainless steel vats for approximately 12 –14 days at temperatures below 26c.

Tasting Note

A bright ruby red Merlot, packed with plummy and blackberry fruit, with a medium body and slight tannins.

Food Matching

Great with pasta, red meats and cheeses.
