About Michelini i Mufatto La Cautiva Malbec

Considered the first great work of Argentine literature, “La cautiva” is an epic poem by the Argentine writer Esteban Echeverría published in 1837 that tells the story of the kidnapping of a soldier and his wife by the Indians, and all the adventures and misadventures they go through to escape. Using this same name Michelini i Mufatto, the family project of Andrea Mufatto and Gerardo Michelini, created Michelini i Mufatto La Cautiva Malbec, a red wine made in Tupungato, in the Uco Valley that perfectly expresses the pure character of the terroir.
Made from old vines from a site called “La Cautiva” in Gualtallary, Michelini i Mufatto La Cautiva Malbec is a single-variety Malbec wine. This is a vineyard with sandy, calcareous and stony soils lying at approximately 1,600 metres above sea level.  The vines are cultivated using environmentally friendly agriculture and the harvest is carried out manually. In the winery, the whole bunches are trodden by foot and then macerated for 1 to 4 months. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with native yeasts and the wine ages for 1 year in 4 and 6-year-old French oak barrels.

Like a literary work that perfectly expresses the character and culture of a place, Michelini i Mufatto La Cautiva Malbec is a wine that captivates on its own. A small production of less than 2,000 bottles made under the premise of absolute respect for the vineyard and minimal intervention in the winery.

2018

Michelini i Mufatto La Cautiva Malbec 2018 is a concentrated red wine with aromas of red fruit, notes of violets and hints of spice. The palate is meaty, complex and well-structured. A medium-bodied wine with silky tannins, well-balanced acidity and a mineral finish.
