Matías Riccitelli Wines
Matías Riccitelli, owner and winemaker of Riccitelli Wines, was born in Cafayate, Salta, a village in Northern Argentina famous for its wines.
When he was a few years older, he moved to Mendoza and began to study winemaking. The rest is history!
Time spent completing vintages in numerous countries honed Matías’ skills. Following this, he decided that Mendoza was the region for him and decided to focus on exploring its terroir, working as the Chief Winemaker for two leading Argentinian wineries.
It’s a family affair! Matías was mentored by his father, Jorge Riccitelli, the first Latin American to win Winemaker of the Year from Wine Enthusiast. Winemaking accolades run in the family, with Matías winning Tim Atkin’s Young Winemaker of the Year in 2016.
A keen traveller, he considers himself a dreamer and is now fulfilling his dream as Chief Winemaker of his own boutique winery – Riccitelli Wines – which he began in 2009. His vineyards are spread over 50 hectares and three sites within the premium growing region of Lujan de Cuyo, as well as vines in Río Negro, Patagonia. He aims to use grapes from the most prestigious regions in Argentina and make wines in his own unique style. Matías puts his huge creative energy into creating wines with freshness and vibrancy.
Semillon, Torrontes, and Chardonnay are all part of Matías’s exciting range of wines. He is hugely passionate about Argentinian white wines and believes they can retain great freshness and acidity if the grapes come from well-located vineyards.
