Keeping tradition the grapes are harvested by hand, soft pressing to keep the properties intact. The must is left to macerate on the skins for two weeks at a controlled temperature. After a first fermentation in stainless steel tanks, Mignechi goes through the wood for 12 months and a further 12 months of aging in the bottle.
Highly recommended to serve it between 16° and 18° C. Ideally served with red meat or goes well with seasoned cheese.
Al naso risulta deciso, spiccano distintamente le note di frutti a bacca rossa, di vaniglia e spezie orientali. Il bouquet è completato da sentori di vaniglia, caffè ed infine cioccolato.
Alla vista appare rosso rubino, vivido, con sfumature viola sulla superfice.
Il sorso si avverte pieno ed avvolgente. Le note di ribes nero e chiodi di garofano anticipano un suadente vanigliato ed un avvolgente cacao. Il finale lungo è piacevole come il tannino elegante.
