- Zuccardi Fincas seeks to highlight the maximum concept of terroir, showing the characteristics of the vineyards of the Uco Valley that make them unique and unrepeatable. The grapes were selected by hand, destemmed, and crushed. Fermentation was done in concrete vats without epoxy with native yeasts. 50% of the wine was aged in 500lts used oak barrels.
The 100% Malbec grapes for the Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal are sourced from a small parcel of vines in the Paraje Altamira vineyard in the Valle de Uco, which has an alluvial soil with limestone-covered rocks from the surface down located at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level. The grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is vinified in concrete without epoxy coating and uses only indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in use.

Winery | Since its conception in 1963, Zuccardi has been one of Argentina`s pioneering wineries. The estate continues to be in the safe hands of the third generation, with Sebastián Zuccardi, who has inherited the same determination and desire to create world-class wines. Tim Atkin MW, one of the most authoritative critics of South American wines, once described Sebastián as `one of the key players in the Argentinian wine revolution... producing some of their finest wines in the process.` This sentiment has been echoed by many critics as their top wines receive 95+ point scores on a regular basis. Piedra Infinita is their prized vineyard located in the heart of the alluvial plain of the Tunuyán River, Paraje Altamira. For Sebastián, terroir and a sense of place are paramount as he said he doesn`t `strive for perfect wines, but wines that express the place and region` - this philosophy could not be more evident with Piedra Infinita, Supercal, and Gravascal. |
