Matías Riccitelli was born in Cafayete, Salta. He identifies as a traveler and a tireless dreamer. After countless harvests throughout the world, he decided to combine everything he has learned and dedicate himself to exploring the excellent terroirs of Mendoza and the teachings of his mentor, and father, Jorge Riccitelli.

This single vineyard wine comes from the area of San Pablo, in Valle de Uco, at 1500 masl. The soils are a mix of loam/clay and limestone gravel. The unique conditions of the soil and the weather make this Malbec truly show the great potential of the San Pablo area.

Matías keeps 30% of the grapes with whole cluster, which ferment and macerate with the remaining destememed grapes in concrete vats. Soft and gentle punchdowns are made to obtain a long extraction. The wine ages in French foûdres for 16 months.

With the eyes closed this wine is reminiscent of the old world and not the new, because it has a timeless elegance and an ethereal structure that reminds us more of France. All these are probably due to the crazy altitude (1500) and the even crazier winemaker behind it. Impermeable black fruit, floral character and incredible finesse.

About the Winery

Matías Riccitelli

Matías Riccitelli was born in Cafayete, Salta. He identifies as a traveler and a tireless dreamer. After countless harvests throughout the world, he decided to combine everything he has learned and dedicate himself to exploring the excellent terroirs of Mendoza and the teachings of his mentor, and father, Jorge Riccitelli.

Matías started his boutique winery in 2009, located in Las Compuertas at 1100 meters above sea level. It is the highest area of Lujan de Cuyo, and here he tends 20 hectares of ungrafted old vineyards. Matías also works with small, independent growers that own their lands at the bottom of the Andes halfway between 1000 and 1700 meters above sea level - in Gualtallary, Chacayes, Altamira and La Carrera.

All harvests are conducted by hand and fermentation takes place in small concrete vats and concrete eggs. Purity and delicacy in winemaking are prized by Matías and great care is taken in preserving the fruit’s singularity in order to obtain vibrant wines.
