Matías Riccitelli
Matías Riccitelli produces wines from Mendoza, Argentina's premier wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on distinctive expressions of both Old World and New World varieties. The Chenin Blanc demonstrates the region's capacity for aromatic white wines with structure and aging potential. Old Vines Merlot draws from mature plantings, offering the depth characteristic of Mendoza's terroir. Father Malbec–Cabernet Franc, a blend anchored by Argentina's signature dark grape, showcases how Malbec's dark fruit and tannin structure can be refined through blending with Cabernet Franc's herbal complexity. These wines have been assessed by major international critics including Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast, reflecting their standing within the global fine wine conversation. Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards, with their marked diurnal temperature swings and mineral-rich soils, impart both intensity and balance to the region's wines—qualities evident across the winery's range.
