Why this wine
Riccitelli is the son of a well-known winemaker who built his own name working high-altitude Uco Valley sites. This is his serious Malbec: structured and floral rather than sweet and oaky. Argentine Malbec for people who thought they had gone off it.

How it tastes
Wild blackberry, black cherry, liquorice and flowers, with dark chocolate underneath. Concentrated and powerful yet elegant, with an opulent texture and a long, rich finish. Malbec 100%.
The producer
Matías Riccitelli, son of the winemaker Jorge Riccitelli, set up his own winery in 2009 after vintages at top Argentine estates and around the world; his 50 hectares sit on three sites in Luján de Cuyo, and the estate made the Top 100 of the World's Best Vineyards in 2025. Vineyard Selection blends ungrafted old-vine Malbec, averaging 80 years old, from three traditional Mendoza terroirs: clay-loam over rock at Vistalba, the stony riverside soils of Perdriel, and lean, permeable clay-loam at La Consulta, all hand-picked into 20 kg cases. The sorted berries were fermented with wild yeasts in small concrete vats after a five-day cold soak, held at 26–28°C, given 15 days' post-fermentation maceration for structure, then aged 16 months in first-, second- and third-use French oak.
Food and drinking
Good with steak, slow-roast lamb, venison and hard cheeses. Drinking well now and will develop for ten years; decant for an hour. Serve at 16–18°C. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
