Before 1950, engineer Alberto ‘Tito’ Zuccardi moved from northwest Argentina, where his Italian grandparents had settled, to Mendoza. There, he began experimenting with innovative irrigation systems. In 1963, he planted a vineyard in the Maipú region to showcase his irrigation system to neighbouring farmers, not realising that this would ignite a lifelong passion.
Today, Bodega Zuccardi Valle de Uco is led by Sebastián Zuccardi, who continues the legacy of his grandfather Alberto and his father José. Sebastián aims to create wines of exceptional purity that are deeply rooted in the terroirs of the Uco Valley, nestled in the shadow of the Andes Mountains. The family is committed to producing wines that embody the essence of their soils and the extreme climate of the vineyards, bringing the spirit of the land into every glass.
Drinking window: 2023 - 2035
What the critics say:
"There is a strong iron note in the 2018 Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal, a Malbec from a small plot within Piedra Infinita, usually the first plot to be harvested within Piedra Infinita. It's an extreme plot, very shallow and with pure stone and a strong character. They found this plot in search for "cal," pure limestone, so they want a strong sensation of chalk in the wine here. This is austere, and I think it's more precise than in previous vintages. Only 1,000 bottles were filled in August 2019."
"Rich, exotic aromas of rich berries and peaches with some flowers and hints of walnuts, following through to a full body with firm tannins and a juicy finish. Pretty, fine and dusty tannins. Juicy finish. Delicious now or hold."
