rich and relatively full-bodied flavors exhibit ample minerality and a taut muscularity on the moderately austere but wonderfully long finale

Michelini i Mufatto 'La Cautiva' Malbec, Gualtallary, Argentina 2020 Rosso di Montepulciano precise and crystallineThey harvested the grapes for the 2020 La Cautiva early because it was a warm year and they wanted to avoid over ripeness and high alcohol in the wine. As a result, they achieved a wine that has 13. 5% alcohol and is balanced, fresh and elegant. It expresses what they are looking for very good acidity in the wines. The levage was one year in a 3,000 liter foudre that was first used for the 2019 vintage and one more year in used 225 liter oak barrels.
