The Zuccardi family emigrated from Italy to Argentina in the late 19th century and established an irrigation company there, as agriculture in Argentina is nearly impossible without water. In 1963, Alberto V. Zuccardi, father of current director José Alberto Zuccardi, planted the first vineyards in Maipú as a demonstration of the company's efficiency. Ten years later, he purchased new land east of Mendoza, and José Alberto has led the winery since 1985.
The Zuccardi Poligonos Semillon Tupungato Mendoza is made from grapes harvested from vineyards located in Gualtallary, Tupungato, in the Mendoza region of Argentina. The grapes are hand-harvested at the perfect point of ripeness and carefully selected for processing. The vinification process begins with the grapes being pressed, and the must is cooled to maintain the desired fermentation temperature. The must is then placed in stainless steel tanks for a cold fermentation that lasts for several days. This preserves the fresh flavors and aromas of the grapes. Finally, the wine is aged for several months in stainless steel tanks.
The Zuccardi Poligonos Semillon Tupungato Mendoza is a beautiful white wine with aromas of citrus fruits, such as lime and grapefruit, complemented by notes of peach and flowers. On the palate, the wine is fresh and soft, with a pleasant balance of acidity and sweetness. The finish is long and elegant with a subtle minerality. This wine is perfect for serving with fish, poultry, or goat cheese dishes. It also pairs well with a casual lunch or an aperitif.
