Masi "Paso Doble," Tupungato, Argentina
Deep violet in color with a bouquet of cherries and damp earth.
Good acid with soft tannins. Ripe red fruit mixed with fresh and spicy aromas. Long and dry on the finish. Unique "double fermentation process" combines Malbec grapes with dried Corvina grapes creating big aromas, intensity, yet soft tannins. Great value!!!
Passo Doble gets its Argentinian qualities of generosity, strength from the Malbec grape, while Corvina gives it the style and grace which reminds me of the classic wines of Valpolicella region in Veneto, Italy. Great structure, from 40-year-old vines in La Arboleda vineyard owned by an Italian family. The wine was further concentrated by a saignée (some of the lighter juice was run off the skins) and then apparently spent 22 months in new Allier casks! This for the price seems impossible ☺
