Michelini i Mufatto is Andrea Mufatto, Gerardo Michelini and Manuel Micheliniโs winery. A family enterprise with a common vision aimed at making wines guided by an approach based on respect, purity and accuracy, implemented into three terroirs: the Uco Valley (Argentina), Bierzo (Spain) and Maldonado (Uruguay). Mother, father and son share a way to interpret a natural environment and its fruits, involving the thorough quest for the essence of each terrainโs character. The kick-off of all undertakings is the search for vineyards with history and intention; plants with history that are part of each placeโs heritage, conceived by their forefathers for the generations to come. Michelini i Mufatto works with vines that express their talent and crossroads, in an attempt to find the peculiarity of each terroir. After that, during winemaking, the key to success include inspecting, respecting and interpreting while taking the placeโs tradition into account. Michelini i Mufattoโs primary focus in all terroirs is wine ageing. Only carefully selected, top-quality cooperage is chosen, strictly respecting the time required by each wine to achieve its maximum expression. Michelini i Mufattoโs wines talk about the sky and the land where they were born. Symmetrical, deep, accurate, pure and sensitive reds and whites which are the true reflection of their terroirs of origin and the essence of a winemaking idea and philosophy. These wines are more textured than fruity, and more austere rather than exuberant. Each of them expresses the terroir of origin in a frank and delicate way, made by paying attention to the finest details. Each bottle embodies an interpretation that is worthy of consideration and perception. Michelini i Mufatto works with three types of wines: town wines, which faithfully identify their region of origin; estate wines, which reflect the expression of a chosen vineyard; and plot wines, which seek to express each placeโs microscopy and its silent and subtle secret.
