Tinto De La Casa

Tinto elaborado a partir de uvas Malbec (50% de Las Compuertas, em Luján de Cuyo, e 50% de Gualtallary, no vale do Uco), com fermentação sem adição de leveduras exógenas (50% em cachos inteiros) e posterior estágio de 12 meses em foudres de carvalho francês. Mesmo em um ano mais quente, com o 2023, apresenta ótima acidez e taninos firmes e de textura de giz, que envolvem suas frutas vermelhas e negras maduras no ponto certo, acompanhadas de notas florais, de ervas e de especiarias. De bom corpo e suculento, mas também fresco e fluido, tem final persistente, com toques de ameixas, de amoras, de violetas. Álcool 13.5%

Half of the Tinto de la Casa de Riccitelli comes from a vineyard in the La Consulta zone on the northern bank of the Mendoza River, at an altitude of 1,100 meters, and the other half is from Gualtallary, in the Uco Valley, about 1,400 meters above sea level. The two varieties were co-fermented with 50% whole clusters. It was aged in oak vats for a little less than a year, and the result from this warm season is an enveloping wine with tannins that are firm but surrounded by lots of fruity flavors, a generosity of ripe red fruits that characterizes both areas. This is a red to show off at a barbecue in a bottle that will empty very quickly. About 10,000 bottles of this wine were made.
