Riccitelli Wines was extablished in 2009, but we didn’t begin hearing about them until 2018 or so after they began their newest project in 2015. They are located in Las Compuertas, the highest area of Lujan de Cuyo, where they have 20 hectares of ungrafted old vineyards. They also source grapes from Gualtallary, Chacayes, Vistalba, Las Compuertas and La Carrera. The dynamic new project began revaluing old vineyards of Semillon, Merlot and Malbec from vineyards that were planted in the sixties located in the Rio Negro high valley.
Relatively recently, they opened an excellent restaurant with unparalleled wine pairings. One of our favorites as of 2022.
