2023 Matias Riccitelli Malbec

Founded in 2009 in Las Compuertas, Mendoza, Matías Riccitelli produces site-focused wines from high-altitude, ungrafted old vineyards across Mendoza and Patagonia. Winemaking centers on low intervention, using native yeasts, concrete eggs, and neutral oak to highlight freshness, natural texture, and vineyard character over heavy oak or over-extraction. The portfolio spans nuanced single-vineyard Malbecs alongside revived heritage varieties like Criolla Chica, Torrontés, and old-vine Sémillon.

Sourced from high-altitude, calcareous soils at 1,400 meters in Gualtallary, this agroecologically farmed Malbec is fermented in concrete vats using native yeasts. Gentle extraction and aging in French oak yield a focused, mineral-driven expression of the Uco Valley.
