✨ Technical Specifications
Familia Zuccardi's Concreto Malbec is a groundbreaking expression of mountain viticulture, crafted as a pure homage to the calcareous soils of Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley. Winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi sought to strip away the traditional influence of oak to reveal the naked soul of Malbec. Fermented and aged entirely in concrete vessels, this wine captures the raw, mineral-driven tension of the Andes. The concrete allows for gentle micro-oxygenation while preserving the vibrant chalky texture, intense dark fruit, and wild mountain herb aromas that define this high-altitude terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1963 by Alberto Zuccardi in Mendoza, Argentina, Familia Zuccardi has evolved into one of the country's most visionary and prestigious family-owned wine dynasties. Under the leadership of José Alberto Zuccardi and third-generation winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi, the estate has shifted its focus towards high-altitude viticulture in the Uco Valley, pioneering deep geological research and unadorned concrete-vessel fermentations to express genuine site specificity. Operating state-of-the-art facilities like the acclaimed Piedra Infinita winery in Paraje Altamira, Zuccardi produces benchmark, mineral-driven Malbecs such as Finca Piedra Infinita alongside benchmark expressions of Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon across red, white, sparkling, and fortified categories.
