In the mouth, unfortunately fell a lot. Completely lacking tannin structure. Step
mouth completely intransigent and forgettable. Short and thin would be more accurate descriptors.

The Prelude, improved in terms of aromas, and after 22 hours uncorked keeps intact the mouth.
In the nose, more noticeable aromas of chocolate and sweet highlight.

There remains the explanation of the Doppia Fermentazione

Double Fermentation:
is a way to make wine, much used in Italy. Masi is an enterprise Tupungato MASI AGRICOLA SPA Italian firm that has vineyards in Venice, Tuscany and Mendoza.
This double fermentation is to produce a base wine, the first strain with a complete fermentation (16 days at 23/28 ° C). After harvest the grapes from the 2nd variety semipasificadas.
In this case the principal strain is the Malbec and the second is the Corvina Veronese. The must of grapes semipasificadas of Corvina, add the wine Malbec and proceed to the second fermentation (15 days at 18/20 ° C).
That time is achieved with this method? More
extract concentration and coloring matter. Complexity
aromas. Richer tannins and slightly power alcohol. Interesting
method, widespread in Italy, especially in the Amarone.
The first wine which was used this double fermentation, as anecdotal data was the Venetian wine " CAMPOFIORIN " in 1964. With
