Minini was established in 1920 when Francesco Minini, a young soldier, came back from the First World War: with little money and a great determination he decided to start a wine business in the rural economy. At the beginning of the 60s the big growth of the company forced the Mininis to move into a new winery, which is still the current headquarters, even though enlarged and restored. During all these years the Minini Family never forgot its tight link with the land, developing new cooperation projects with growers all over the main production areas of Italy. This allowed the family to widen its portfolio to support its introduction on the international markets. Their strategy has been to source new wines from the plenty of unique ancient vineyards typical of Italy, rediscovering, with the new technologies of wine-making, the value of the Italian tradition.
