NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Malbec from Matías Riccitelli is a true gem.It showcases the classic characteristics of the Malbec grape with a unique twist. The nose is filled with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, accompanied by hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity. The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree Malbec has a rich and complex flavor profile. The ripe black fruit flavors are complemented by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and a touch of oak. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. This wine is a great example of the quality and craftsmanship that Matías Riccitelli is known for. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Matías Riccitelli

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
