✨ Technical Specifications
Translated as 'A Place in the Andes,' this expressive Malbec is a poetic tribute to the towering mountain range that defines Mendoza's viticultural identity. The Andes act as both a shield and a source of life, providing the high-altitude sunlight, dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, and pure mineral-rich snowmelt that shape the grapes. Crafted by the Zuccardi family to showcase a vibrant, fruit-forward, and highly accessible expression of mountain Malbec, this wine focuses on purity of fruit and terroir. It is fermented and aged with minimal oak influence to preserve the bright red fruit aromas, signature violet notes, and soft, juicy tannins that characterize Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards.
🍾 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.
