The Zuccardi estate, located in Mendoza, Argentina, is renowned for its excellent wines. Sebastián Zuccardi, the third-generation winemaker in the Zuccardi family, has led the company since January 2000. The estate's history began in 1963, when Sebastián's grandfather planted the first hectare of vines in Maipú. Today, the estate comprises over 200 hectares of vineyards at the foot of the Andes Mountains, whose wines reflect the rich terroir of the Uco Valley. The vineyards are planted with various grape varieties, including Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo. Zuccardi wines are praised for their complexity, elegance, and ripeness and have frequently been nominated for prestigious international awards. The Zuccardi family remains committed to innovation and sustainability in their winemaking processes.
The Malbec grapes for this Zuccardi Valles are carefully and selectively harvested by hand. They are then transported almost immediately to the winery. Here, the grapes undergo another rigorous selection and gentle pressing. The juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks where the wine is allowed to mature further before bottling.
Zuccardi's Valles Malbec is a robust yet approachable red wine. Clear aromas of black fruit, cassis, blackberries, and plums are complemented by spicy notes. Thyme, fennel, and rosemary complete the aroma. The palate is robust and full-bodied with pleasant acidity. A powerful wine of excellent quality.
