✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the extreme, high-altitude terroir of San Pablo in the Uco Valley, situated at an breathtaking 1,400 meters above sea level, Zuccardi's Fósil Chardonnay is a masterclass in cool-climate viticulture. The wine's name, meaning 'fossil', pays tribute to the ancient marine fossils embedded within the calcium carbonate-rich alluvial soils of this unique Andean landscape. Crafted by winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi to express the raw, untamed energy of the mountains, the grapes are fermented in concrete vessels and used French oak barrels. By intentionally avoiding malolactic fermentation, the winery preserves the grape's electric, laser-like natural acidity, resulting in a white wine defined by its flinty, saline minerality, textured mouthfeel, and incredible tension.
🍾 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.
