Passionate Wines is the brainchild of Matias Michelini. He is the winemaker, agronomist, and Grand Poobah of his winery named Passionate Wines.  Matias strives to make experimental wines that express terroir.  These wines are low production and are drawn from multiple inspirations, regions, and styles.  The Via Revolucionaria wines are single vineyard, unconventional wines, fermented with native yeast.  He produces a skin macerated Torrontes “Brutal”, an unfiltered Semillon “Hulk”, and a carbonic macerated and fermented Bonarda “Pura”.  The Montesco wines are small production wines that focus on place and varietals.  Matias continues to experiment with other cuvees with the mantra of producing either atypical varietals or classic varietals in non-traditional methods.

This 100% hand harvested Criolla Grande is from Campo Vidal, a single vineyard within Tupungato, Uco Valley. The lifted and bright nose shows notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, dried rose petals, and milk chocolate. The palate is light and fresh with good acidity and bright red fruit shining through. The finish shows macerated raspberries with a hint of cinnamon, crushed dried leaves, and orange peel. This vintage is Glou Glou at its best!!
