Description: Perhaps the most radical of Argentina’s winemakers, Matias Michelini was fondly known as the "green Michelini" for many years and his colorful winemaking still makes him the rebel of the Argentine wine scene. Pioneering a lean style of wine with often electric acidity, Michelini has been at the forefront of Uco Valley winemaking over the last decade. A firm believer in biodynamic viticulture, Mathias' wines very much start in the vineyard and almost invariably end in concrete. Bright, translucent ruby-red with a youthful glow. Aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry and raspberry and floral nuances of dried rose petals add elegance. Light-to-medium body with fresh and vibrant acidity. The fruit carries forward with juicy bright red berries and The fruit carries forward with juicy bright red berries and a gentle spice note that makes this wine feel pure and expressive.
