The Wine Advocate 93
"The explosive and showy red 2018 JI JI JI made me think of a Morgon as soon as I put my nose in the glass. It partly had carbonic maceration and was pressed halfway through the fermentation, then finished fermenting like a white without skins or stems. It's still the same 50/50 blend of Malbec and Pinot Noir from Gualtallary and feels more serious and somewhat less wild, more about the place than the fruit. It fermented in a 23,000-kilo concrete vat and was bottled unoaked soon after it finished fermenting (without malolactic), in late April 2018. It has some chalky tannins, and it feels very mineral and fresh, again à la Morgon (think Lapierre). Delicious and a real bargain." ~ LG

About Gen del Alma

Gen del Alma was started in 2012 by winemaker Andrea Mufatto and her husband Gerardo Michelini of Zorzal. Andrea and Gerardo have bought land and planted vines in multiple areas of northern Mendoza; their focal concept is to showcase purity, minerality, and freshness through blends and practices unique to Argentina. The majority of their wines are currently sourced from their property in Gualtallary and they also work with other vineyards in different subregions of the Uco Valley. Their minimal vinification process allows the fruit to shine on its own. Their winery is located in the town of Tupungato and is comprised of concrete eggs, barrique, foudre, and amphoras. Andrea and Gerardo also make a wine in Bierzo, under the 'Michelini i Mufatto A Merced' label.
