Matías Riccitelli The Apple Torrontés 2025

Description Matías Riccitelli The Apple Torrontés 2025 is a fresh and elegant white wine produced by Riccitelli Wines in Tupungato, Uco Valley. Sourced from a traditional vineyard with over 40-year-old vines planted in sandy loam soils at 1,000 meters above sea level, this 100% Torrontés showcases exceptional varietal typicity, vibrant natural acidity, and tension born from slow grape ripening. Hand-harvested in mid-March in small 20 kg crates, the grapes undergo 48 hours of skin maceration followed by protective fermentation with indigenous yeasts at low temperatures (14–16°C) in small concrete vessels, where the wine then ages for 6 months. This line pays homage to Matías’s father, master winemaker Jorge Riccitelli. "Bright and expressive in the glass, the nose opens with vibrant citrus aromas combined with notes of white peach and delicate floral accents of lavender. On the palate, it is fresh, crisp, and elegant, offering remarkable natural acidity and balance that lead to a clean, persistent finish."
