After countless harvests throughout the world, he decided to combine everything he has learned and dedicate himself to exploring the excellent terroirs of Mendoza and the teachings of his mentor, and father, Jorge Riccitelli

A highly approachable Malbec showing lively aromas of ripe wild berry fruit and floral aromas of violets and lavender. Full-bodied on the palate with fine-grained tannins and toasty notes of oak and juicy dark berry fruits. Nicely focused on the finish, this is a fluid and vibrant interpretation to this style. 

Bring the party when you pair this wine with mediterranean spiced dishes and soft cheeses. Great to sip on it's own as well with friends!

About the Winery

Matías Riccitelli

Matías Riccitelli was born in Cafayete, Salta. He identifies as a traveler and a tireless dreamer. After countless harvests throughout the world, he decided to combine everything he has learned and dedicate himself to exploring the excellent terroirs of Mendoza and the teachings of his mentor, and father, Jorge Riccitelli.

Matías started his boutique winery in 2009, located in Las Compuertas at 1100 meters above sea level. It is the highest area of Lujan de Cuyo, and here he tends 20 hectares of ungrafted old vineyards. Matías also works with small, independent growers that own their lands at the bottom of the Andes halfway between 1000 and 1700 meters above sea level - in Gualtallary, Chacayes, Altamira and La Carrera.

All harvests are conducted by hand and fermentation takes place in small concrete vats and concrete eggs. Purity and delicacy in winemaking are prized by Matías and great care is taken in preserving the fruit’s singularity in order to obtain vibrant wines.

92 Points-David Lawrason

This is whole bunch fermented to bring some grip and stalk to the nose, then fermented and aged in concrete to smooth out the texture. Expect generous, wild berry/plummy fruit aromas with some youthful leesy, herbal/twiggy character. It is quite full bodied and dense yet very juicy. Excellent fruit concentration and length here. Very impressive and exuberant yet stylish. Tasted Nov 2021
