SuperUco Gualta 2017
Multi-layered Biodynamic, Organic Red
60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Franc.
"Intense aromas of tar, blackberry and blueberry follow through a full body with a stemmy, herbal and berry character. Juicy finish. Made from co-fermented cabernet franc and malbec in small used oak barrels” 93 pts. James Suckling.
Complex nose produced by a process of co-fermenting Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Several layers appear when rested in the glass: first, a marked freshness followed by flowers and dark fruit flavours, finishing with an undisclosed reflection of the contained minerals. The wine travels around the palate, subtle, result of its year-and-a-half aging in small 2nd use French Oak barrels. Long and pleasant finish.
With only 1,500 bottles produced per year, the Michellini Brothers promise an exceptional representation of the terroir combined with superior winemaking.

Cellar It
The 2017 vintage drinks well now but has a cellaring potential of 10-15 years.
