✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from a historic parcel in Paraje Altamira within the Uco Valley, Zuccardi's Finca Canal Uco is a profound testament to the region's extreme high-altitude terroir. The vineyard, planted in 2007, takes its name from the historic irrigation canal that borders the property, a vital lifeline that has nourished the valley for generations. Unlike the nearby Piedra Infinita vineyard which is dominated by shallow, extremely stony soils, Canal Uco features slightly deeper soils with a higher concentration of clay and silt over a bed of calcium carbonate-coated alluvial stones. This unique geological profile imparts a distinctive character to the wine, yielding a Malbec of remarkable structure, intense dark fruit, and velvety, fine-grained tannins. Sebastián Zuccardi vinifies this single-vineyard masterpiece using concrete vessels and native yeasts, followed by aging in unlined concrete and large oak foudres, ensuring that the pure, mineral-driven voice of the Altamira soil remains entirely unmasked.
🍾 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.
