Matías Riccitelli
Hey Malbec! 2024
Riccitelli's fresh, vibrant take on Malbec, blending fruit from traditional Luján de Cuyo with high-altitude Uco Valley sites on clay and limestone soils. Most is destemmed and a portion is fermented as whole clusters with nothing added, then it ages in small concrete vessels with a share in French oak until the next harvest. Juicy black fruit, violets and black pepper with soft, ripe tannins.

About the producer
Matías Riccitelli
Matías Riccitelli, born in Cafayate (Salta) and son of veteran winemaker Jorge Riccitelli, worked harvests around the world and served as head winemaker at Fabre Montmayou and Norton before founding his own winery in 2009. The bodega is in Las Compuertas, the highest part of Luján de Cuyo, with old ungrafted Malbec there plus mountain vineyards in Gualtallary, Los Chacayes and San Pablo in the Uco Valley, and a Río Negro project in Patagonia since 2015. Fruit is hand-picked, farmed without herbicides, and fermented with native yeasts.
