About this winery

Au début des années 1900, Cesare et Rosa Mondavi, jeunes mariés de Sassoferrato dans le nord de l’Italie, se sont installés dans le Minnesota. En 1919, la National Prohibition Act est adoptée, interdisant la vente d’alcool. Cela semblait incompréhensible pour les familles italiennes, pour qui le vin était un aliment de base de la vie quotidienne. Heureusement, une échappatoire dans la loi a permis aux gens de faire 200 gallons de vin chaque année pour la consommation familiale....

Production notes

We gently crushed the harvested grapes and fermented the must (juice and skins) with a selected yeast strain in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The grapes were pressed at 0–5 degrees Brix (sugar reading) for brighter fruit character, depending on the vineyard’s personality. The wine underwent both primary and malolactic fermentation in the tanks. We aged with French oak from a variety of coopers, adding an array of sweet oak spiciness and more complex flavor.

Tasting notes

Our Merlot displays rich aromas of raspberry, red fruit jam, mocha, and molasses with enticing flavors of cherry cola, red berry, and vanilla oak. This medium-bodied wine possesses well-balanced acidity and beautifully integrated tannins, creating complexity and structure. Its soft, versatile style complements grilled meats, especially steak, pork chops, and hamburgers. Also enjoy this juicy wine with hearty pasta with Bolognese sauce.
