Say Hola to Blanco de la Casa – Riccitelli’s High-Altitude House White
Don’t be fooled by the humble name—Blanco de la Casa is no basic house wine. This is Matías Riccitelli’s delicious love letter to Argentina’s coolest vineyard sites, blended into one juicy, textured white with serious zip and zing.
A trio of grapes makes the magic happen: Sauvignon Blanc from Gualtallary’s chalky soils gives you citrus and green apple snap. Old-vine Semillon from La Consulta adds mellow richness and a hint of wild herbs. And Chardonnay from the sky-high slopes of La Carrera brings elegance and structure to round it all out.
All grapes are hand-picked, wild-fermented, and aged in concrete eggs (yes, really) to let the terroir shine. The result? A wine that smells like green orchards and mountain meadows—think apple skins, fresh hay, and herbal whispers—and tastes like sunshine with a mineral finish.
This one’s a textural treat: crisp but creamy, zesty but grounded. It’s perfect with sushi, seafood, or that fish pie you’ve been meaning to try.
Fresh, fun, and crafted with serious skill—Blanco de la Casa is the kind of “house white” you’ll want to move into.
