✨ wine.spec_sheet
The 'Los Olivos' range by Familia Zuccardi pays tribute to the historic olive groves planted alongside the original vineyards in Mendoza. When founder Alberto Zuccardi first began planting vines in the 1960s, he also cultivated olive trees to demonstrate the efficacy of his innovative irrigation systems. Today, this Chardonnay captures that spirit of harmony and pioneering agriculture. Sourced from selected vineyards in Mendoza, the wine is crafted to emphasize freshness and pure varietal character. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without oak contact, it showcases the bright, sun-drenched fruit of the region balanced by the crisp acidity gifted by cool mountain nights.
