Vino Rosato Minium Elio Sandri

What type of wine is it

The Vino Rosato Minium by Elio Sandri is an authentic expression produced in Piedmont, in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba. Made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, it is distinguished by a straightforward and rigorous style, enhanced by a genuinely tactile signature. Fermentation and aging take place in concrete vats, with indigenous yeasts naturally preserving the essential, fruit-focused character of the wine. This label offers a clear and precise interpretation of winemaking processes and the tannic structure characteristic of its grape variety.

Where it comes from

Minium is produced in Monforte d’Alba, Piedmont, starting from grapes grown in the historic hamlet of Perno. Its territorial origins are deeply rooted in this distinct geographical area, where vineyard and winery share the same local soil and climate. This unity between the place of cultivation and production maximizes the wine’s identity, ensuring precision at each step of its life cycle. The result is a bottle that faithfully reflects its local context, transparently expressing the vocation of its land.

How it is produced

Vinification begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by pressing and a measured maceration of about twelve hours. Fermentation occurs entirely in concrete vats, relying on indigenous yeasts to retain the true personality of the must. Aging continues in the same material for about twenty-four months before the wine is ready. This strict approach aims to safeguard the intrinsic features of the grapes and to emphasize the varietal component cleanly and directly, without intrusive tertiary influences.

Tasting notes

Visually, the wine displays an appealing color that foreshadows its original and well-balanced sensory profile. On the nose, fresh aromatic notes emerge, enriched by a delicate tactile undertone that helps define its compact bouquet. The palate reveals a distinctly fresh and vertical mouthfeel, supported by a pleasant astringency that imparts character and persistence to every sip. The balance between agility and tension accompanies the entire tasting experience, finishing with a clean finale in which the tannic weave plays a decisive role.

Food pairings

Thanks to its lively freshness and assertive presence, this wine pairs ideally with game-based dishes. Its structured nature and sharp taste development perfectly balance the intensity of rich, lasting flavors, creating harmonious equilibrium throughout the meal. It is also well-suited to accompany blue cheeses, where its tension refreshes the palate and precisely counters the salty notes and the creamy component typical of these intense tastings.

When to serve it

This rosé is the perfect choice for meals that call for a fresh wine with a distinctly marked tannic presence. The extended twenty-four months in concrete define its solid character, making it suitable for robust dishes. It is ideal for convivial occasions where a unique wine, focused on oenological accuracy and gustatory tension, is sought. Its strong identity makes it an exciting option to enrich a characterful menu with a clear and authentic winemaking approach.
