- Zuccardi Fincas aims to showcase the unique and unrepeatable characteristics of the Uco Valley vineyards, emphasising the terroir concept. The grapes were carefully hand-selected, destemmed, and crushed. Fermentation took place using native yeasts in tronco-conical concrete vats without epoxy. 30% of the wine was aged in 500L oak barrels, while the remainder was in concrete vats.
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. The vineyard, located at 1100 meters above sea level, has an alluvial soil with limestone-covered rocks from the surface down.
The grapes were selected by hand, destemmed, and crushed. They were fermented in concrete vats without epoxy with native yeasts. Fifty per cent of the wine was aged in 500lt used oak barrels.

| 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 regularly. 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. |
