region: Uco Valley, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
GRAPE(S): 95% MALBEC, 5% CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Farming: practicing sustainable
In 1963, Jos Zuccardi planted the first vines on the estate, and, today, it is one of the largest family-owned wineries in Argentina. Third generation winemaker and Joss grandson, Sebastin, leads a young team of agricultural engineers and enologists who are dedicated to studying the terroir and every detail that affects wine quality. This Malbec evokes a strong sense of place (as is the Zuccardi way) and is dedicated to Jos as an homage to his legacy. Aromas of
cocoa nibs
,
black raspberry
, and a hint of
green pepper
lead to a full-bodied palate with beautifully structured tannins to accompany the rich, opulent fruit notes.
