Riccitelli & Father – A Bold Family Affair 🍷👨👦
This one’s got legacy in the bottle and rebellion in the glass. Riccitelli & Father is a powerhouse red born from the partnership of winemaking legend Jorge Riccitelli and his son, the always-innovative Matías. It’s a tribute to old vines, new ideas, and the magic that happens when two generations of winemaking visionaries blend tradition with creativity.
The blend? 80% Malbec from nearly century-old ungrafted vines in Las Compuertas, and 20% Cabernet Franc from high-altitude Chacayes. One brings richness and depth, the other spice and edge—kind of like the father-son dynamic, right?
Crafted with minimal intervention and max attention, fermentation is gentle and slow, with the juice spending time in 2000L oak foudres for over a year. The result? A deep, complex red that hits like poetry and lands like a mic drop.
Expect brooding dark fruit, graphite, wild herbs, black tea, cracked pepper, and that seductive waft of walnuts and florals. Full-bodied and chewy, with a long, intense finish that keeps you thinking long after your glass is empty.
This is not just a wine—it’s a generational handshake in a bottle.
