✨ Technical Specifications
The Polígonos series by Familia Zuccardi is a liquid map of the Uco Valley, named after the geometric shapes used to define and study the region's diverse soil profiles. Sourced from the extreme, high-altitude vineyards of San Pablo in Tupungato—sitting at over 1,400 meters above sea level—this Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to mountain viticulture. In this cold, high-desert climate, the grapes develop intense acidity and structural tension. To preserve the absolute purity of this unique terroir, winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi eschews oak entirely, fermenting and aging the wine in concrete vessels. This minimalist approach coaxes out a deeply mineral, textured, and austere expression of Sauvignon Blanc, trading typical tropical fruit notes for wet stone, wild mountain herbs, and a chalky, saline finish that reflects the calcareous soils of the Andes.
🍾 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.
