Home Red Wines Wines Casa Maia, Cabernet Sauvignon IGT

Minini

Vibrant plummy and blackberry fruit, with good fruit intensity, a soft palate and a lovely, juicy finish.

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

The grapes were mechanically harvested and destemmed. The grapes were then cooled and underwent a pre-ferment whole bunch maceration, before temperature controlled tank fermentation. The wine was bottled with no addition of oak ageing.

Tasting Note

Vibrant plummy and blackberry fruit, with good fruit intensity, a soft palate and a lovely, juicy finish.

Food Matching

One to pair with lamb, burgers, braised beef, mushrooms and mature cheeses.
