Michelini i Muffalo Balsa de Piedra

by Michelini i Muffalo · Ribera del Duero, Spain

Red • Tempranillo • 14% ABV

The Michelini brothers have made a name for themselves with boundary-pushing wines across South America, and this Spanish project shows they're just as talented in the Old World. 'Balsa de Piedra' translates to 'stone raft' – an apt metaphor for a wine that feels both solidly grounded and somehow capable of floating above expectations.

Coming from Ribera del Duero's high-altitude vineyards, this Tempranillo captures the region's signature combination of power and elegance. The extreme continental climate – blazing hot days and frigid nights – creates wines with intense concentration while preserving crucial acidity.

What makes this bottling special is how it honors traditional Spanish winemaking while incorporating the Michelini brothers' innovative spirit. It's like a classic rock song that's been remixed just enough to sound fresh without losing what made it great in the first place.
