The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels. It presents a dark red color with distinct garnet reflections. The nose is intense and complex, with prominent notes of coffee, pepper, violet, and red fruit preserves. On the palate, it is dry, warm, and smooth, with velvety tannins and good persistence. It pairs perfectly with traditional Piedmontese dishes, grilled meats, and medium-aged cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conterno Fantino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43890517147701,"sku":"","price":62.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/7208\/7349\/files\/Conterno_Fantino_monpra.jpg?v=1724836441"},{"product_id":"elio-sandri-minium-rosato-vdt-n-v-piemonte","title":"Elio Sandri MINIUM Rosato VDT N\/V - Piemonte","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"flex-shrink-0 flex flex-col relative items-end\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gizmo-bot-avatar flex h-8 w-8 items-center justify-center overflow-hidden rounded-full\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"cf18e194-3395-49e6-a7a6-6b1a63e084a2\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 break-words [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE GRAPE \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINE \u003cbr\u003eMinium Rosato \u003c\/strong\u003e is a unique rosé wine made from Nebbiolo grapes (locally known as \"terdes\") sourced from the Perno area in Monforte d'Alba. This wine stands out for its vertical structure, with notable tannins and fresh aromas that create a distinct personality, all wrapped in an attractive color. Crafted by Elio Sandri, who blends tradition with a spirit of experimentation, this rosé comes from a small parcel of grapes originally destined for Barolo Riserva 2020. The grapes are hand-harvested, lightly pressed, and undergo 12 hours of maceration before fermenting with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. The wine is then aged in concrete for about 24 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elio Sandri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43890546507829,"sku":"","price":77.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/7208\/7349\/files\/Minium2.jpg?v=1724836949"},{"product_id":"tenuta-cucco-barolo-serralunga-dalba-docg-2020-piemonte","title":"Tenuta Cucco Barolo Serralunga d'Alba DOCG (2020) – Piemonte","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eA true Barolo in every sense — steeped in the classic aromas born of its grape and its land.
