Description
Matías Riccitelli Viejos Viñedos en Pie Franco Malbec is a single-variety wine made with the area’s star variety, Malbec. Ungrafted, old vines are planted on clay, stony and limestone soils that are traditionally cultivated and harvested by hand in 15 kg crates. In the winery, the clusters are carefully destemmed, and fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, using temperature control and where the grapes remain on skins for several weeks. The wine is aged in French oak barrels of different uses for 16 months.
Smells
a striking bouquet that’s complex with aromas of ripe red and black fruit, notes of fresh violets and hints of spice.
Tastes
On the palate it is ample, juicy and fresh. A medium-bodied wine with noticeable acidity, fine tannins and a long finish, with an intense aftertaste. Drinking well now through 2030+ and will match superbly with char-grilled beef, served rare. The recommended serving temperature is 15-17 degree.
