A Superb & Beautifully Crafted Red Wine...
“The grapes are the best lots of vineyard from the Rivadavia area of Mendoza. Aged in new barrel, this wine shows exceptional complexity in its deep red robe: spicy plums, dark cherries, chocolate and a hint of black pepper. Full and well-built, the wine has firm but integrated tannins that express the oak and the varietal. From the aromas, color, and flavors, you’d expect this wine is twice the price. Don’t miss out on this superbly crafted beauty of a red wine. Whether you prefer Cabernet, Merlot, Sangiovese or any other varietal, this wine will win you over! For any red wine lover.”
- Here is what Washington Post has to say: "Remarkably complete and complex for the money, this shows soft, sweetly ripe fruit that is also pure and bright. Nuances of cocoa and tobacco leaf lend interest, and though the regular Tittarelli Reserva Malbec is a very good wine for $12, this Reserva de Familia is well worth the additional $4."
Tittarelli Winery
Tittarelli is one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in all of Argentina. Founded by Enrique Tittarelli in 1915, just after his arrival from Italy.Tittarelli owns over 1800 hectares (4500 acres) of vines right below the Andes Mountains, an area with an exceptional micro-climate which makes it possible to grow high-quality grapes. The company is divided into two wineries, which combine tradition and technology to create wines of excellent character.
The 33 degree south latitude is a special geographic point as the climate of this zone is characterized by a large swing in temperatures. These conditions, together with the scarce rainfall and the sandy and permeable soil make the ‘cuyana’ area the most suitable for growing grapes, making it possible to compete with and even excel the best and most traditional European wineries.
Achieving excellent wine at the vineyard requires expert work. A team of professionals and specialists, highly qualified, with technicians and workers continues today the legacy of three generations which has made and makes Tittarelli great.

The loam sandy, calcareous soils, the good drainage, as well as the scarce rainfall turns the area into a unique environment to cultivate grape vines that yield high quality wines, able to compete with the best in the world.
