What are Pét-Nat wines and which ones to try?
This bi-varietal Pinot Noir and Malbec is made with grapes from high-altitude vineyards, located at 1,400 meters above sea level, in Gualtallary, Uco Valley. The manual harvest took place in early February to maintain the integrity of the clusters.

It's a low-intervention sparkling wine, so it has no added sulfites, is neither clarified nor stabilized. It presents a salmon pink color and aromas of white fruits and citrus; its acidity makes it fresh and elegant.
The tip: This winery houses Riccitelli Bistró, the restaurant awarded a red star and a green star by the Michelin Guide 2025, thus retaining the one obtained in 2024. Juan Ventureira is the chef who conceived the in-house garden and designs sustainable gastronomy.
