Marvellous Malbec from Zuccardi

Founded in 1963 by Alberto Zuccardi, Zuccardi Winery has a rich history that mirrors the evolution of Argentina's wine industry. What began as a small family venture has grown into one of the most influential and respected wineries in the country. Alberto Zuccardi's vision was to explore the vast potential of the Mendoza region, particularly the Uco Valley, in crafting exceptional wines.

Over the decades, Zuccardi has played a pivotal role in elevating the status of Argentine wines on the global stage. The winery's commitment to innovation and quality winemaking has been passed down through generations, with Alberto's son, José Zuccardi, taking the reins and further expanding the family legacy. Under José's leadership, Zuccardi has embraced cutting-edge viticultural practices and invested in state-of-the-art winemaking facilities.

Zuccardi Winery's success is intricately tied to its understanding of the unique terroir of the Uco Valley. The winery's vineyards, situated at varying altitudes along the Andes Mountains, contribute to the distinct characteristics of their wines, with a particular emphasis on the iconic Argentine grape, Malbec. Uvas del Sol translates to ‘grapes of the sun’, which refers to the unusually long hours of daily sunshine that the grapes are subjected to. This has the effect of giving the wines an aromatically perfumed nose exhibiting violet and rose petal aromas.
