✨ Technical Specifications
Named as a heartfelt tribute to Alberto 'Tito' Zuccardi, the visionary founder who established the family winery in 1963, this red blend captures his pioneering and non-conformist spirit. Tito was an engineer by trade who originally planted vines to demonstrate the efficiency of his unique irrigation systems, inadvertently launching a legendary winemaking legacy. Sourced from the stony, limestone-rich soils of Paraje Altamira in the high-altitude Uco Valley, this wine is a blend that typically highlights Malbec alongside structured partners like Cabernet Sauvignon and Ancellotta. Fermented in concrete vessels using native yeasts and aged to preserve the vibrant, mineral-driven character of the terroir, it offers a complex profile of dark fruits, herbal notes, and a distinct chalky texture.
🍾 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.
