✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Aluvional series by Familia Zuccardi is a liquid map of the Uco Valley's complex alluvial terroirs. Conceived by Sebastián Zuccardi, this range of wines is born from the realization that the Andes Mountains are not just a backdrop, but the very creator of the soils. Over millennia, glacial meltwater and mountain torrents washed down stones, gravel, and calcium carbonate, depositing them in fan-shaped alluvial beds. Each bottling in the Aluvional selection highlights a specific village or paraje—such as Gualtallary, Paraje Altamira, or San Pablo—to showcase how these stony, calcareous soils imprint a distinct mineral tension, chalky texture, and vibrant acidity onto the Malbec grape. To keep the focus entirely on the terroir, the wine is fermented in concrete vessels using native yeasts and aged in uncharred foudres and concrete, eschewing the heavy makeup of new oak. It is a profound tribute to the rugged beauty and geological history of high-altitude Mendoza.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Familia Zuccardi blev grundlagt i Mendoza i 1963 af Alberto Zuccardi og har siden udviklet sig til et af Argentinas mest visionære og prestigefyldte familiedrevne vindynastier. Under ledelse af José Alberto Zuccardi og tredjegenerations-vinmageren Sebastián Zuccardi har vinhuset rettet sit primære fokus mod højtbeliggende vindyrkning i Uco Valley. Her har de været pionerer inden for dybdegående geologiske jordbundsanalyser og gæring på neutrale betontanke for at fremhæve vinenes autentiske terroiroprindelse. Fra topmoderne vinerier som det anmelderroste Piedra Infinita i Paraje Altamira skaber Zuccardi skelsættende, mineralske Malbec-vine – heriblandt Finca Piedra Infinita – samt enestående fortolkninger af Bonarda og Cabernet Sauvignon fordelt over både rød-, hvid-, mousserende og hedvin.
