Features

Le domaine Riccitelli est situé au cœur de Vistalba dans la région de Luján de Cuyo dans la province de Mendoza. Les vignobles s’étendent sur 20 hectares sur trois sites différents au pied de la cordillère des Andes entre 920 et 1120 mètres d’altitude. La majeure partie des vignes a été plantée au début du 20ème siècle. Elles sont cultivées traditionnellement et sont majoritairement taillées en gobelet ce qui limite les rendements. Si nécessaire, le domaine pratique des vendanges en vert. Les raisins sont acheminées au chai en cagettes de 20 kg. Après un tri rigoureux, les raisins sont fermentés en petites cuves de béton équipées de régulateurs thermiques. Les moûts sont ensuite transférés pour un élevage en barriques françaises pour une durée qui varie en fonction du cépage et du millésime. Matias Riccitelli est le fils de Jorge Riccitelli qui a été élu meilleur vigneron de l’année 2012 par le magazine ‘Wine Enthousiast’. Mais on se demande si le fils n’a pas déjà dépassé le père! Les vins de Matias Riccitelli se distinguent par leur élégance et leur harmonie et "ils capturent" tout le raffinement du terroir de Luján de Cuyo en particulier sur les malbecs.

What is an author wine?

These can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.

An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.

This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.

As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
