Colle Manora established in 1981 is a 100ha estate in Monferrato, Piemonte with 20ha of vines which form an amphitheater of vineyards flanked on both sides by woods. This perfect setting enhanced by the biodiversity of their land gives life to their classic wines. Mimosa is made from Sauvignon grapes, which were planted some 20 years ago when international varieties were brought to Piedmont.

Mimosa was in fact one of the first expressions of Sauvignon in Piemonte made by reputed winemaker Donato Lanati, and it became a favorite white Piemontese wine showing excellent adaptation to the soils of ancient marine origin, rich in limestone, sand and marl which make this wine sapid and mineral with delicate floral ‘mimosa’ nose and delicious tropical, peach and citrus notes on the palate even with a hint of herbs on the finish. Above all it is a dynamic, elegant wine to be enjoyed as an aperitif or that pairs well to appetizers, light meat dishes, and fish.
