A fine and stylish wine of great aromatic intensity, with a core of black fruits surrounded by liquorice, spice and floral notes. Remarkably balanced and deliciously smooth with firm, yet elegant tannins, this has wonderful personality and an endless finish.

Riccitelli and Father arise after the joint work of Matias and his father Jorge Riccitelli. Matias and Jorge were seeking to enhance old vines Malbec of traditional areas with that same intensity that Cabernet Franc develops in the mountainous soils. 80% Malbec planted in 1927 from ungrafted vines in Las Compuertas, Lujan de Cuyo, over alluvial soil with 20% of Cabernet Franc coming from a vineyard in Chacayes, Uco Valley.

Matías Riccitelli was born in Cafayate, Salta, a charming village in northern Argentina where wine is lived and breathed. A tireless traveler and dreamer, Matías trained as a winemaker in one of Argentina’s most prestigious wineries. After traveling the world through multiple harvests, gaining experience and anecdotes, he decided to blend everything he learned throughout his career with the teachings of his mentor and father, Jorge Riccitelli. Thus, in 2009, Riccitelli Wines was born. The winery is located in Las Compuertas, in the highest area of the traditional Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, at 1,100 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.).
