Matías Riccitelli
Tinto de la Casa Malbec 2023
A co-fermented Malbec drawn half from Las Compuertas (1,100 m, clay-loam over permeable rocky subsoil) and half from limestone soils in Gualtallary (1,400 m). Both vineyards are farmed without herbicides. It ferments with 50% whole clusters and native yeasts in small French oak vats and stays in those vats until the next vintage. Deep purple, floral and spicy, with a rich, complex palate and soft 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.
