The renowned Istrian winery Meneghetti, a synonym for luxury, hedonism, and exceptional wine culture, has unveiled the new vintages of its two signature wines – Meneghetti White 2023 and Meneghetti Red 2020 – and announced the appointment of music diva Nina Badrić as the new brand ambassador
The exclusive presentation took place in the enchanting setting of the Garden Pavilion at Stancija Meneghetti, where numerous guests from the worlds of wine, gastronomy, art, and lifestyle had the opportunity to taste for the first time the new vintages of these cult wines, which for decades have been building a bridge between the authenticity of the Istrian terroir and sophisticated international taste.
New Vintages – A Continuation of Excellence
Meneghetti White 2023
A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc that represents freshness, minerality, and elegantly balanced aromas. The wine is highly complex on the nose, with pronounced aromas of pineapple, citrus, and melon, complemented by hints of butter, roasted hazelnuts, and subtle notes of fine wood and vanilla in the background. Rich and concentrated on the palate, with a creamy texture. Due to its complexity, it pairs beautifully with dishes based on fish and shellfish, white meat, veal, and aged cheeses.
Meneghetti Red 2020
A powerful, layered red wine full of character and depth, embodying the Istrian land and its winemaking tradition. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc has a deep ruby-red color. Full-bodied, dense, mature, and well-balanced, it pairs perfectly with red meat and game dishes as well as aged hard cheeses. It also has great aging potential.
Nina Badrić – The New Brand Ambassador
The choice of Nina Badrić, one of the most recognizable regional music artists and fashion icons, as the face of the brand is a natural continuation of Meneghetti’s philosophy: to unite excellence, beauty, and emotion – values that equally define both wine and art.
