It was the first time this prize was awarded in South America. Riccitelli: 'You don’t receive such an award for one wine, but because all our wines have been good at every price level for years and have their own identity. To make top wines, everything must be right: the vineyards, the staff, the equipment, the corks, you name it. At Norton, I feel surrounded by quality.' Jorge Riccitelli has worked since 1992 at the Argentine winery Norton, which has been owned for about 25 years by the Austrian crystal family Swarovski. Norton experiments with various grape varieties. Owner Gernot-Langes Swarovski once planted some grüner veltliner in Mendoza for his own pleasure, the signature grape from his homeland Austria.
