Riccitelli Wines Malbec “The Apple doesn’t fall far from the three” Mendoza 2021 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Riccitelli Wines The apple never falls far from the tree, and this wine best represents Bodega Matias Riccitelli’s passion for winemaking. An enological talent that is easy to find in this pure Malbec. A fascinating wine that draws its unique characteristics from the skillful combination of grapes from two distinctive areas of Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina. Specifically, those harvested from the Perdriel estate, located on the banks of the Mendoza River, benefit from stony, clay soils with patches of caliche. Those from Gualtallary, at 1400 meters above sea level, grow instead on limestone soils. This combination of different terroirs results in a wine that expresses a perfect harmony between “sucrosity and freshness.” Spontaneously fermented in small cement vats, for maturation the winemaker uses used French oak barrels, giving the wine complexity and structure. Wonderful aromas of wild dark fruits, vanilla and chocolate on the nose. In the mouth, complex and rich, with soft, ripe tannins and a long, enveloping finish. To put it at ease on the table, just pair it with savory grilled lamb or beef dishes.
