A Limited Edition Celebrating Mediterranean Flavours
Minuty continues its series of artistic collaborations for its M Rosé cuvée with a limited edition designed by Lucia Vinti. Paying tribute to the Mediterranean art of living, the bottle was born from a collaboration between an Italian artist and a Provençal Maison, in the heart of the Saint-Tropez Peninsula – united by the same culture of taste, sharing, and conviviality.
The new vibrantly coloured illustrated edition highlights the aromas and fruity freshness of the Minuty M wine, while paying homage to the unique bottle design created by Monique Matton in the 1960s: “La Provençale” which has become a symbol of Provence wines.
Lucia’s illustration is directly inspired by Minuty M’s aromatic profile. With notes of red fruits and peach, the bottle evokes the generosity and freshness of the wine through a luminous composition in which patterns and colours echo the Mediterranean art de vivre. To extend this experience, a summer tart was created around the same aromatic notes, inviting enthusiasts to discover these flavours not only in the glass, but also on the plate.
“I got inspired by the connection between France and Italy with the Mediterranean art of living, particularly through food and wine. For me, food pairing embodies colour, warmth, and togetherness, qualities that I cherish in my work. During my week-long residency at the estate, I immersed myself in Minuty’s essence and the magical vibes of the region. One of my favorite moments was visiting the famous local market of Saint-Tropez with a chef. We picked fruits like peaches, raspberries, and redcurrants to craft a summer tart that captures Minuty’s tasting notes. It’s like a celebration of flavours both in the glass and on the plate, a true Minuty moment.” – Lucia Vinti, Artist
Since 2018, the Maison has invited international artists each year to reinterpret the Minuty M bottle. Through their eyes, the bottle becomes a canvas that reflects not only the world of the Maison, but also the unique art of living on the Saint-Tropez Peninsula, Minuty’s birthplace since 1936.
The Wine
Minuty M is crafted from a blend of three grape varieties: predominantly Grenache for its aromatic elegance, Cinsault for its freshness, and Syrah for added complexity. With its pearly pink hue, the wine immediately charms with its aromatic intensity, ranging from tangy red berries to notes of white-fleshed fruits. On the palate, this new vintage is rich and rounded, with crisp fruit. A subtle hint of sweetness tempers its liveliness.
This cuvée pairs beautifully with a wide range of appetizers: tapas, crackers, wasabi peas – as well as summer salads such as Salad Niçoise — lso complements seafood, including small crustaceans, pink shrimp and shellfish. Additionally, prepare the summer tart at home, enjoy it alongside a glass of Minuty M Rosé, and let yourself be transported into the Mediterranean Spirit – right at your table.
