Description

Allow me to introduce you to a wine that embodies the soul of Mendoza, Argentina: the Riccitelli Wines Abito Malbec. This isn't just another Malbec; it's a visceral experience, a journey into the heart of Argentine winemaking, and a testament to the passion and dedication of Matías Riccitelli, one of the country's most exciting and innovative winemakers. The ‘Abito’ translates into English as Habit and that is what Riccitelli is doing – making fantastic wines.

Imagine vineyards nestled high in the Andes Mountains, where the air is crisp, the sun intense, and the nights are cool. These extreme conditions give the Malbec grapes a unique character, a concentrated flavor, and a remarkable structure. Riccitelli Wines embraces these conditions, nurturing their vines with meticulous care and allowing the terroir to express itself fully in the final product.

The Abito Malbec is crafted with minimal intervention, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, preserving the freshness and vibrancy of the grapes. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, adding subtle layers of complexity without masking the fruit's inherent character.

When you pour a glass of Abito Malbec, you'll be greeted by a deep, inviting ruby color. The aromas are intoxicating, a symphony of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, mingled with hints of violets, spices, and a touch of earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet elegant, with a velvety texture and a long, satisfying finish. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing structure and complexity without being aggressive.

This Malbec is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. Its rich fruit and balanced acidity make it a perfect match for grilled meats, especially Argentine-style Asado. It also pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. For a truly decadent experience, try it with dark chocolate.

Riccitelli Wines is a family-owned winery that is deeply committed to sustainability. They use organic farming practices, minimizing their impact on the environment and ensuring the health of their vineyards for generations to come. By choosing Abito Malbec, you're not just indulging in a delicious wine; you're supporting a winery that is dedicated to quality, sustainability, and the preservation of Argentine wine heritage.

So, open a bottle of Abito Malbec, share it with friends and family, and let it transport you to the stunning landscapes of Mendoza. It's a wine that will awaken your senses, ignite your passion, and leave you with a lasting impression. Cheers!
