Why this wine
The house red, made to be drunk rather than admired. Juicy Malbec with a savoury edge. Everything the estate does well, at the price you would actually open midweek.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Fragrant notes of violet, black pepper, liquorice and toasty spice lift from a core of ripe blackberries and plums. Concentrated yet poised, offering dense dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and a long finish with herbal and mineral nuances. Fermented with 80% whole bunches and aged in French oak vats, this Malbec reveals remarkable balance and freshness.
The producer
Matías Riccitelli Wines was founded in 2009 by Matías Riccitelli, son of the acclaimed Argentine winemaker Jorge Riccitelli. Drawing on experience gained at Mendoza's top estates and vintages worldwide, Matias established his own 50-hectare project across three prime sites in Lujan de Cuyo and Valle de Uco. His goal: to capture the authenticity of Argentina's finest terroirs through sustainable farming and minimal intervention. Today, Riccitelli is one of Mendoza's most dynamic boutique producers, known for precision, vibrancy and depth in every bottle.
