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.

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. |
