Matias Riccitelli, born in Cafayate (Salta, north of Argentina), established Riccitelli Wines in 2009. His mentor (and his father), Jorge Riccitelli, is one of Argentina’s most acclaimed winemakers working as Chief Winemaker at Bodega Norton for 25 years until his retirement last year.

This winery drew my attention when I was judging for Argentine Wine Awards 2016. Among wines in a flight called “other whites” (i.e. varietals other than Torrontes), Riccitelli Old Vines Semillon 2015 stood out from the crowd. It turned out taking home the title “Regional Trophy of Patagonia”, beating the famous Malbec or other varietals renowned in the region. -  by Jennifer Luk

"Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC 2012是Super Tuscany派系，主要用法國品種65％Cabernet Sauvignon, 20％Merlot，當中保留點意大利血脈15％Sangiovese。這酒芳香吸引，入口有櫻桃和黑莓果味，香料餘韻甚長，單寧優雅順滑，屬新派中仍保留傳統風格的好酒，難怪獲Gambero Rosso的三杯酒推介！" - Peter Kwong

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2014 - 91 points 

"This red has a silky side in the beginning, then turns sinewy and tannic by the finish. Intense and packed with black cherry, blackberry, light toast, spice and tobacco flavors, ending with a mineral kick." - Bruce Sanderson.

​

Rosso di Montepulciano DOC 2015 - 90 points & Best Values

"This red opens with ripe plum and cherry fruit, yet it also has a brooding side. Firm tannins provide support, while earth and iron elements add depth"—Bruce Sanderson.

"Maria Sabrina Tedeschi is the driving force behind one of the historic wine estates in Valpolicella Classico in northern Italy. Famed for producing Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto, the winery has three vineyards in Monte Olmi, the latest purchased by the Tedeschi family in 2006. Maria Sabrina Tedeschi, together with her sister Antonietta and brother Riccardo, runs the family winery with her father. The heiress speaks to dbHK about the best advice she ever got from a Charlie Chaplin quote and her treasured bottle of Capitel Monte Olmi 1964 that she would save at all costs."
