✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Serie A' line from Familia Zuccardi celebrates the diversity of Argentina's microclimates and soils, with the 'A' standing for 'Argentina.' This Malbec is primarily sourced from estate vineyards in the high-altitude Uco Valley of Mendoza, where intense alpine sunlight and cool night breezes yield grapes with exceptional color, concentration, and balanced acidity. The Zuccardi family's deep commitment to studying Mendoza's alluvial soils is reflected in this wine's construction. Fermented in concrete vats and aged partially in French oak barrels, the winemaking team coaxes out a style that prioritizes fresh, dark fruit expression and supple textures over heavy wood influence, honoring the true spirit of modern Argentine viticulture.
🍾 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.
