matias riccitelli suelos calcareos chardonnay 2022
Reference: 103134Stock: 16 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
the riccitelli estate is located in the heart of vistalba in the region of luján de cuyo in the province of mendoza. the vineyards cover 20 hectares in three different sites at the foot of the andes mountains between 920 and 1120 meters above sea level. most of the vines were planted at the beginning of the 20th century. they are traditionally cultivated and are mostly pruned in goblet which limits the yields. if necessary, the estate practices green harvesting. the grapes are transported to the winery in 20 kg crates. after a rigorous sorting, the grapes are fermented in small concrete tanks equipped with thermal regulators. the musts are then transferred to french barrels for a period that varies according to the grape variety and the vintage. matias riccitelli is the son of jorge riccitelli, who was voted best winemaker of the year 2012 by 'wine enthousiast' magazine. but one wonders if the son has not already surpassed the father! matias riccitelli's wines stand out for their elegance and harmony and "they capture" all the refinement of the terroir of luján de cuyo especially on malbecs. on the palate, there is a fairly classic semillon profile that tugs a bit on the astringency at the entry with aromas and flavors of beeswax, fennel and white flower. it's refreshing with nice volume and a harmonious finish. a fine example of what semillon can produce with old vines, limited yields and careful winemaking.
