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. This vineyard has an alluvial soil with limestone-covered rocks from the surface, located at 1100 meters above sea level. The grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is vinified in concrete without epoxy coating, using only indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in used 500-litre wooden barrels.
Alluvial, sandy loam soil with a middle depth of 60cm - 1.97 feet. Bellow rocks have a layer of clay inside and are covered with calcium carbonate. The grapes were selected by hand, destemmed, and crushed. Fermentation with native yeasts in tronco-conical concrete vats without epoxy. 30% of the wine was aged in 500L oak barrels, and the rest in concrete vats

| 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. |
