✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Q' on the label of Familia Zuccardi's range stands for 'Quality'—a designation that originated from the practice of marking the very best vineyard parcels and barrels with a 'Q' to earmark them for this reserve bottling. For the Q Cabernet Franc, the grapes are sourced from selected high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, specifically from Paraje Altamira and San Pablo, where cold nights and intense sunlight yield grapes with exceptional concentration and acidity. The wine is crafted using concrete vessels for fermentation with native yeasts, followed by aging in a combination of concrete and used French oak barrels. This minimal-intervention approach highlights the classic varietal characteristics of Cabernet Franc—such as black currant, red bell pepper, and graphite—while preserving the distinct chalky, mineral texture imparted by the region's calcium carbonate-rich soils.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Familia Zuccardi blev grundlagt i Mendoza i 1963 af Alberto Zuccardi og har siden udviklet sig til et af Argentinas mest visionære og prestigefyldte familiedrevne vindynastier. Under ledelse af José Alberto Zuccardi og tredjegenerations-vinmageren Sebastián Zuccardi har vinhuset rettet sit primære fokus mod højtbeliggende vindyrkning i Uco Valley. Her har de været pionerer inden for dybdegående geologiske jordbundsanalyser og gæring på neutrale betontanke for at fremhæve vinenes autentiske terroiroprindelse. Fra topmoderne vinerier som det anmelderroste Piedra Infinita i Paraje Altamira skaber Zuccardi skelsættende, mineralske Malbec-vine – heriblandt Finca Piedra Infinita – samt enestående fortolkninger af Bonarda og Cabernet Sauvignon fordelt over både rød-, hvid-, mousserende og hedvin.
