Mimo Moutinho Vinho Verde is a new addition to Aldi stores that meets the demand for Portuguese “green wine” with a sparkling twist. Described by Mistress of Wine, Sam Caporn, as having “the perfect hybrid between a fruity wine and a fizz,” Mimo Moutinho Vinho Verde is a refreshing, lighter alternative to traditional sparkling wines with notes of apricot, peach, nectarine, and mango. Caporn claims Mimo Moutinho Vinho Verde is similar to the freshness of Prosecco but with a softer effervescence.
“Green wine” gets its name from its youthfulness, fruity character, and origins in the Minho region in northeastern Portugal. Thanks to the region’s cooler climate, the wine takes on a complex and flavorful zestiness.
