Considered the finest DOCG white wine of the Piedmont region, Gavi comes from the southern hillside vineyards around the town of Gavi. Loved by such historical figures as Charles V and Napoleon Bonaparte, Gavi offers great fruit flavors with hints of steeliness and is exceptionally dry with great acidity. Gavi produced in the Mignanego Wineries distinguishes itself for its fine and delicate smell and pleasant harmonious taste. This wine pairs well with fish, shellfish and white meats and is a great alternative to Pinot Grigio. Print a Shelf Talker Click Here

Mignanego Dolce Rosso, the words “dolce rosso” are Italian for “sweet red”. The chief identifying quality of this wine is a clear, distinct strawberry quality, from the aromatic nose through the light-bodied flavor. This delicately sparkling, light ruby-colored wine is lightly sweet and there is a lively, spritzy taste of bubbles. It is what the Italians call frizzante, and the effervescence is softer and less pronounced than that of Prosecco. With its cherry red color and soft, natural sweetness, Mignanego Dolce Rosso makes an appealing aperitif as well as dessert wine. Print a Shelf Talker COMING SOON

Sourced from a small, private producer in Barolo’s prestigious, Central Valley commune of La Morra, Mignanego’s “MAXIMUS” Barolo delivers firm tannins and the classic aromas of tar and roses.

These wines tend to be less tannic and full bodied than those from the Serralunga Valley and can require less aging. La Morra is the most widely planted and productive region of the Barolo zone, responsible for nearly a third of all wine labeled as Barolo, and produces twice as much wine as

Barbaresco is produced in the Piedmont region, in an area of the Langhe, immediately to the east of Alba, and specifically in the commune of Barbaresco.

Mignanego’s Dolce Oro Moscato is known for its surprising perfume-like fragrance, light-body, spritzy character (frizzante), lower alcohol content (5.5%), and its dazzling fruit-forward palate profile with a welcoming sweet factor. The wine’s color steers towards straw yellow with occasional tinges of gold. The flavors are extraordinarily fruit-filled. This wine needs to be served well-chilled and is delicious with desserts, fresh berries, and summer salads. While dessert is Dolce Oro’s forte, cheese courses or antipasto plates can be perfect pairings. Its versatility, with a definitive balance of sweet and acidity, and the lower alcohol content also makes this wine an ideal

Mignanego’s Nebbiolo is produced in the prestigious Northern Italy’s Langhe wine-making region and is big and full-bodied with intense concentration and firm tannins. It is thought to derive its name from the Italian word nebbia which means “fog.” During harvest, which generally takes place late in October, a deep, intense fog sets into the Langhe region where Mignanego vineyards are located. Nebbiolo produces lightly colored red wines which can be highly tannic in youth with scents of tar and roses. As they age, the wines take on a characteristic brick-orange hue at the rim of the glass and mature to
