✨ Technical Specifications
Familia Zuccardi's 'Serie A' stands for 'Serie Argentina', a portfolio designed to showcase the country's diverse microclimates and soil profiles through its signature grape varieties. For their Torrontés, Zuccardi ventures far north of their Mendoza home to the high-altitude, sun-drenched valleys of Salta, particularly Cafayate. Sitting at elevations often exceeding 1,700 meters, these vineyards experience extreme diurnal temperature shifts and intense solar radiation. This unique terroir is essential for Torrontés—an indigenous Argentine grape born from a historical crossing of Criolla Chica and Muscat of Alexandria. To preserve the grape's highly expressive, delicate aromatic profile of white flowers, citrus peel, and fresh peach, Zuccardi ferments the juice entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding any oak contact to deliver a pure, vibrant, and mineral-driven expression of the Salta 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.
