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.
