✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Pol gonos series by Familia Zuccardi is an exploration of the diverse micro-terroirs of the Uco Valley, named after the geometric shapes of the vineyard parcels. The San Pablo IG, situated at an extreme altitude of approximately 1,400 meters above sea level, is one of the coldest viticultural zones in Mendoza, heavily influenced by its proximity to the Andes and the Las Tunas River. In this cool-climate sanctuary, the Spanish native Verdejo grape finds an unexpected but spectacular expression. Sebastián Zuccardi ferments and ages this wine entirely in concrete vessels, eschewing oak to preserve the grape's natural high acidity, intense mineral tension, and raw, stony character. This wine represents a pioneering chapter in Argentine viticulture, showcasing how old-world varieties can adapt and thrive in the extreme high-altitude soils of the Southern Hemisphere.

Founded in 1963 by Alberto Zuccardi in Mendoza, Argentina, Familia Zuccardi has risen to become one of the world's most visionary wine estates, currently led by third-generation winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi. Based in the high-altitude terroir of the Uco Valley, the family's state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery, Finca Piedra Infinita in Paraje Altamira, is constructed entirely from local alluvial stone and concrete. Their production philosophy centers on expressing the pure, mineral-driven identity of calcareous soils, utilizing concrete vessels and minimal oak aging to craft terroir-specific masterpieces. Renowned for world-class expressions like the single-vineyard Finca Piedra Infinita Malbec, the Aluvional series, and the elegant Emma Zuccardi Bonarda, the estate represents the pinnacle of modern Argentine viticulture.
