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 Pinot Noir has a very natural nose of red currant, cranberry and baked cherry that is beautifully defined and full of character. The palate is medium-bodied with acidity and filigree tannins. The finish is very precise, with cranberry leaf and wild strawberry lingering long in the mouth.
