2022 Malbec, Ungrafted old Vines, Lujan de Cuyo, Matias Riccitelli
The son of renowned winemaker Jorge Riccitelli, Matías has created a stunning, modern classic from 80-year-old ungrafted vines in Vistalba, Perdriel, and La Consulta. The 2022 vintage showcases the incredible gravitas and seamless depth typical of these centenarian plants, balanced by the winemaker's trademark freshness and precision. Deeply concentrated, it opens with a quintessentially fragrant bouquet of wild blackberries, black cherries, liquorice, and perfumed violet. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully structured, wrapping rich, dark cocoa and hazelnut-chocolate notes in superfine, silky tannins that flow into a remarkably long, polished finish.
