Matias Riccitelli Tinto de la Casa Valle de Uco 2022

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.
