In the heart of the medieval village of Minervino, we find Cantine Menhir. This fantastic winery was founded by three innovative entrepreneurs. They saw the potential of viticulture in this particular part of Italy. And that inspiration and conviction proved more than justified! Today, Cantine Menhir is one of the finest wineries in the heel of the boot in Italy and is known worldwide for its top wines. The name Cantine Menhir derives from the stone structures from the Stone Age. The stones used for these structures are also called menhirs.
The result of all the effort in the vineyards and the winery is certainly impressive. What a gem of a red wine this Cantine Menhir Albanegra is! The deep ruby color already suggests a lot. The aroma offers beautiful notes of licorice and laurel, interspersed with hints of figs and dark plums. The finish is wonderfully warm and rich. The palate is silky smooth, almost like a soft and warm duvet. The delicious flavor nuances of ripe red and black fruit are perfectly balanced with a hint of dried plums. The finish is soft and lively, and very pleasant.
