Riccitelli 'Blanco de la Casa'

This 2020 white wine blend hails from Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina. It's a harmonious mix of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Chardonnay. Argentina native Mattis Riccitelli, after learning winemaking in Mendoza in his youth and helping with numerous harvests worldwide, set up his own winery in 2009. His vineyards are at 1000 - 1700 meters above sea level, and he focuses on making pure and tender wines. He uses hand - harvesting and careful fruit selection, only native yeast strains for a distinct Argentine flavor, and ferments the wine in large concrete eggs. This allows for a gentle, natural movement of the wine that oak or stainless steel can't replicate. The wine has a rich texture with flavors of apple, pear, white nectarine, and a zesty citrus note. It pairs perfectly with chicken saltimbocca or pasta with roasted garlic sauce.

To enjoy this Riccitelli white wine blend, simply chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. Pour it into a wine glass and take in its wonderful aroma. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, it goes great with chicken saltimbocca or pasta with roasted garlic sauce. For storage, keep it in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures as they can affect the wine's quality. If you have an opened bottle, cork it tightly and put it back in the fridge. It should stay good for a few days, but the sooner you finish it, the better the taste.
