Michelini i Mufatto - GY Gualtallary Red Blend 2023

Andrea Mufatto and Gerardo Michelini started their winery in 2019 alongside their son Manuel Michelini. They are situated at the foot of the Andes in one of the highest elevations of the Uco Valley where the soil contains some of the richest components of calcium carbonate and granite in all of South America. This particular sub region is at the highest, most western portion of Gualtallary and goes by the name La Cautiva. At Michelini i Mufatto they strive to make some of the most unique wines of Argentina and the wines show tension, elegance and balance. They are currently working with Semillon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The trio also makes wine in Uruguay and Spain and they are the first family in Argentina to import small production wine from Europe.

A village level wine that combines grapes from Gualtallary and regions with different soils and temperatures. 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Franc, grapes are co-fermented in wooden barrels with native yeasts, and the wine is aged in French barrels for 18 months.

"Earthy and dark-fruited, with polished aromas of plums. The palate is crunchy and medium-bodied, with precise, nervy tannins. Made from 60% malbec co-fermented with cabernet franc, including varying proportions of whole clusters. Drink now." - 94 Points, James Suckling
