Muffato Oxidative 2018 Producer|El Mozo

Muffato Oxidative 2018 Producer|El MozoA callback to the old school Marsala of days gone by, this is not the more ubiquitous (often dubious quality) sweet export, rather a bone dry expression of Catarratto that has undergone a process one might more likely associate with the Jura's coveted Vin Jaune. Born from an initial experiment back in 2013 when Fabio celebrated a plentiful vintage, a little of the excess Catarratto that would ordinarily become Gianciabianca he filled a small barrique

the wine rested in old casks for a year

a prime red chiller arriving just in time for the sunshine

A wonderfully raw yet pure expression of the grape

A superb new addition to Noëlla's repertoire that stands apart stylistically from her other reds

A more authentic take on this often mass-produced style of wine

trapping the bubbles and creating a sparkler - à la Ancestral style

before being fortified with alcohol and sugar

The name translates to two ways with the same grape - half de-stemmed

Absolutely no additions at any stage

Almost impossibly light on its feet

this vintage is wonderfully light on its feet

this is the easiest drinking of Yann’s cuvées
