The Zuccardi family has a rich history of innovation and research in viticulture, enabling them to produce wines of the highest quality. The family emigrated from Italy to Argentina in the late 19th century and began by establishing an irrigation farm, as agriculture in Argentina is almost impossible without irrigation. In 1963, Alberto V. Zuccardi, father of current director José Alberto Zuccardi, planted the first vineyards in Maipú to demonstrate the farm's efficiency. Ten years later, he purchased new land east of Mendoza, and José Alberto has led the winery since 1985.
The Chardonnay grapes for 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 on its own lees.
The result is a fruity and refreshing Chardonnay with a bright color in the glass. The aroma reveals aromas of white fruit, such as pineapple and lychee. On the palate, this white wine is delightfully sweet, round, and beautifully structured. Perfectly balanced with pleasant acidity. The fruity notes continue into the refreshing finish.
