What Makes Supercal 2017 a Collector's Choice?

Exceptional Terroir, Distinctive Character

Zuccardi's “Finca” range is dedicated to expressing the unique terroirs of the Uco Valley, and Supercal is among the most precise interpretations of soil and climate. Grown on calcium carbonate-rich alluvial soils, this wine delivers striking minerality and texture, true to its name—“Supercal”, referencing the super-calcareous soil.

Minimal Intervention, Maximum Expression

Fermentation takes place in epoxy-free concrete vats using only native yeasts, preserving the authenticity of the fruit. No fining or filtration is applied, allowing the natural qualities of the vineyard to shine. The gentle use of oak (only 30%) adds subtle complexity without overshadowing the wine’s distinctive minerality.
