It works as in Bordeaux: Plots 1 to 3 hectares, cluster thinning, defoliation, and yields very controlled about 35 hectoliters per hectare. Harvests

On Thursday Recoleta Wine Gallery had the pleasure of sharing a tasting Monteviejo by Gustavo and Marcelo Paolucci Pelleritti.
In addition to good products that we are accustomed to the winery, and being good hosts Martin Buschi and Wine Gallery, I enjoyed one of the best performances you've seen by any winery. Marcelo
Pelleritti has the great virtue of being able to synthesize the wisdom, simplicity and science, said the most effective and honest as possible.
You can tell the passion for your product, efficiency in performance and clarity and modesty in the way it presents.
We had the opportunity to hear from both the accioenes carried out for the wines of Pomerol group.
One of the most notable addition to the efficiency of the job is seeing the family that owns putting passion in your work and earmarking a portion of production for the selection and harvesting of the grapes to work in a quiet part of the product, and as family tradition, for its internal use.
We talked about the presentation of Diamanda and Monteviejo La Violette, only when the winemaker considers the wine is at its best. Monteviejo La Violette has 36 months in barrels of first use and manual separation of the fruit.

I also had the pleasure of sharing the meeting and go with Horacio in all the above. Gratitude to both WG (especially Martin), for the excellent talk of Marcelo Pelleritti, counting not only their work in Monteviejo, but his experience in Pomerol.
With respect to new wine Monteviejo "La Violette", is also a special feature that the fermentation was done by placing the whole grapes into barrels, as with some wines in Pomerol. Interesting.
Ulong - Posted: Wed Aug 08, 2009
Thanks to Martin and the people of Monteviejo for such exquisite invitation that knew how to combine quality and warmth in exact proportions. Harold and I agree with the opinions Manu dunk and I can only comment on the interesting counterpoint that was generated about the Clos de los Siete Petite Fleur 07 and the same vintage, where the first surprise since he left for the "Ready" was to drink and the second presents more complexity and finesse, but needs more bottle to fully enjoy.
Greetings. Eduardo
Copy here your comments, that talk about how interesting can this kind of talks, both for young enthusiasts to experienced wine lovers.
