Matías Riccitelli Wines Bodega & Bistró
Perched in the highest zone of Las Compuertas, Riccitelli Wines is pure oenological art, renowned not only for its powerful wines but also its distinctive, youthful, and elegant label design.
Founded in 2009 by Matías Riccitelli, a second-generation winemaker, the winery is located at 1,100 meters above sea level in Las Compuertas, the highest area of Luján de Cuyo. From there, it leads a project that blends tradition and innovation, aiming to explore the potential of Mendoza’s most iconic terroirs and other Argentine regions such as Gualtallary, Chacayes, Altamira, and Patagonia.
The winery manages 20 hectares of ungrafted historic vineyards and follows a philosophy centered on micro-vinification, hand harvesting in 20 kg boxes, and fermentation in concrete and eggs—techniques that highlight the purity of the fruit.
Every detail, from vineyard care to label design, reflects a contemporary, bold, and authentic aesthetic.
In addition to its wines, the experience is enhanced by high-end gastronomy at its award-winning bistro.
