Description
Valle de Uco where top producer Zuccardi has his vineyards, are known for their exceptional quality. Working on an excellent terroir of high altitude, a long growing season with more than 250 sunny days per year, as well as large temperature differences between day and night. Their Chardonnay is also a beautiful exponent of this. We ourselves are also great lovers of wines from these types of high altitude areas where wine companies such as Zuccardi and Catena Zapata belong to the absolute top
The PolÃgonos series is all about terroir in the broadest sense of the word. In addition to climate and soil, the wines reflect the social, economic and historical character of the area they come from. The vineyards are named after the people from the region in question. Each wine is made from a single grape variety. The grapes for this Malbec come from Altamira, from vineyards at an altitude of around 1100 metres in the Uco Valley. The soil dates from the time when the Las Tunas River flowed here and consists of sand and loam on a layer of gravel, and is particularly calcareous. This special terroir produces complex wines with a striking minerality.
After harvesting, the grapes are gently crushed, after which the must ferments with the help of natural yeasts in concrete vats. After fermentation, the wine matures further in small concrete vats. The Zuccardi Poligonos Altamira Malbec is an intense wine with aromas of ripe red and dark fruit, complemented by floral and mineral tones. Full and soft in taste with a striking freshness and beautiful minerality. Rich tones, freshness and minerality form a beautifully elegant interplay.

The Zuccardi family came to Argentina from Italy at the end of the 19th century. In the 1950s, Alberto V. Zuccardi, the father of current director José Alberto Zuccardi, started an irrigation company; a good choice, because virtually no agriculture and arable farming can take place in Argentina without irrigation. To prove how well the irrigation company worked, Alberto planted the first vineyards in Maipú in 1963. Ten years later, he purchased a new vineyard site east of Mendoza. His son José Alberto has been in charge of the wine company since 1985. The company has since built up an international reputation. For example, they have been chosen several times as 'The World Best Vineyard' in South America and the wines are rated with the highest scores, with even regular outliers of 100 Parker points.
