✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Los Olivos' range pays homage to the historic olive groves planted alongside the original vineyards by founder Alberto Zuccardi in Maipú during the 1960s. This wine captures the vibrant, youthful spirit of Mendoza Malbec, sourced from select vineyards across the region where high-altitude sunshine and alluvial soils yield grapes of exceptional purity. Vinified primarily in concrete and stainless steel to preserve its bright primary fruit, it offers an approachable yet expressive profile defined by juicy plum, dark cherry, and soft, round tannins, reflecting the Zuccardi family's commitment to showcasing the natural harmony of their estate's agricultural heritage.
🍾 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.
