Tasting Notes
Matias Riccitelli Tinto de la Casa 2023 is a luxurious, single-varietal Malbec that showcases the elegance of Mendoza’s high-altitude vineyards. Deeply expressive, this red wine opens with violet and floral aromas, followed by layers of ripe blackberries, black pepper, and toasty spice from oak ageing. The silky tannins and bright acidity deliver excellent structure, leading to a long, smooth, and satisfying finish.

The grapes were fermented with 80% as whole bunches, which added complexity to the stalks; the remaining 20% were destemmed. Vinification occurred in small French oak vats, with wild yeasts at controlled temperatures of 26 to 28°C. The cap was punched down twice daily to extract the desired level of colour, flavour and structure. The wine was aged in the same French oak vats until the following vintage.
A complex and rich Malbec, with floral aromas, black pepper and toasty spice notes underpinned by a wealth of black fruit flavours. Opulent, with smooth tannins and balancing freshness through to a long, satisfying finish.

| Winery | This blend is the result of the co-fermentation of two Malbec sites. 50% of the grapes come from Las Compuertas, which is situated at 1,100 meters above sea level. The soils are a one-metre deep loamy clay with a rocky subsoil, offering excellent drainage to the vines. The remaining 50% comes from the premium viticultural area of Gualtallary, where the vines are planted at 1,400 meters above sea level on calcareous soils. The wines produced here have great freshness and a discernible spicy character. The grapes grow thicker skins at high altitudes to protect themselves against the UV rays, resulting in rich, concentrated wines. The acidity naturally retained at this cooler altitude balances the ripe fruit. |
