Vineyard & Winemaking

This Malbec originates from the Canal Uco vineyard, located in the heart of Paraje Altamira — one of the Uco Valley’s most prestigious sub-regions. Soils here are alluvial with high limestone content, contributing to the wine's freshness and mineral-driven profile. Zuccardi Fincas is a project focused entirely on single-vineyard bottlings that showcase micro-terroirs in their purest form, using sustainable practices and minimal intervention in the winery.
