"Michelini i Mufatto's 2020 Balsa De Piedra is a blend of Malbec with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 5% Sémillon from Tupungato, Uco Valley and was 1/3 aged in used barrels for six months. Bright purple in color, the attractively pure, complex and intense aromatic profile is led by red fruit such as cherry and plum with hints of blackcurrant, mint and flowers. Juicy in the mouth with compact, finely grained tannins, the palate is tilted toward the accomplished freshness."
