Riccitelli Viejos Viñedos en Pie Franco Malbec 2018

This is a vision of Las Compuertas and Vistalba, two of the most traditional areas in Mendoza wine and among the richest in their heritage of very old vines, which, in this case, are more than 80 years old. This is 50% from Vistalba, and the other 50% is from Las Compuertas, and it has that spirit, that character of an origin-based malbec grown on Mendoza's alluvial terrace and in one of the highest parts of Luján de Cuyo. It doesn't have the acidic energy that wines from Uco have, but it does have the depth of the fruit from old vines, the spicy flavors, the black fruits, the freshness of a high-altitude acidity that fulfills its role of refreshing until the end. A classic wine revisited by one of the most talented winemakers in Argentina today. Score - 97.
