Los Olivos, Malbec

Zuccardi

A wine of elegant plum, blackberry and white pepper notes, with a long fruity finish.

Producer Information

Some years before 1950, engineer Alberto ‘Tito’ Zuccardi arrived in Mendoza from Tucumán, the small province in northwest Argentina where his Italian grandparents had settled many years before. In 1963 he planted a vineyard in the Maipú region, aiming to show other neighbouring farmers how his irrigation system worked, not realising at the time that this would be the beginning of his life’s passion.

Today Bodega Zuccardi Valle de Uco is led by Sebastián Zuccardi. Following in the footsteps of his Grandfather Alberto and his Father José, Sebastián’s aim is to create wines of great purity, firmly rooted in the terroirs of the Uco Valley, in the shadow of the Andes Mountains.

The family makes wines that express their origin, the essence of their soils and the extreme climate conditions of the vineyards in the heart of every glass.

Wine Making

Grapes were hand harvested and left on skins for 15 days with daily pigeage and delestage. 50% of the wine was aged in French oak for 10 months.

Tasting Note

A wine of elegant plum, blackberry and white pepper notes, with a long fruity finish.

Food Matching

An ideal accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted vegetables or pasta.
