✨ Technical Specifications
The Polígonos series by Familia Zuccardi is a liquid map of the Uco Valley, named after the geometric shapes used by geologists to map the diverse soil profiles of Mendoza's high-altitude villages. Crafted by visionary winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi, this collection seeks to express the naked truth of terroir. To achieve this, the Malbec is fermented and aged entirely in raw concrete vessels, completely bypassing oak. This minimalist approach allows the distinct chalky minerality, vibrant acidity, and intense mountain-fruit character of specific villages like San Pablo, Gualtallary, or Tupungato to shine through with remarkable clarity and energy.
🍾 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.
