Description
Score: 98 pts James Suckling
Matías Riccitelli Viñas Extremas Malbec – San Pablo 2022 comes from one of the coldest and most challenging corners of the Uco Valley, in IG San Pablo, at 1,500 meters above sea level. From vineyards managed under an agroecological approach—without herbicides or systemic products—this Malbec captures the extreme identity of its origin with precision. The loamy-sandy soils with calcareous gravel bring tension, freshness, and a distinct mineral edge.
"A powerful and deep Malbec with great complexity and character. It shows pure, clear fruit, mountain energy, and a firm yet balanced structure. The natural freshness of San Pablo’s cold climate translates into a vertical, precise wine with remarkable persistence."
A mountain wine—intense yet refined—that faithfully reflects the unique character of San Pablo and the spirit of the Viñas Extremas line: wines that push the expression of place to the limit.
