2023 Zuccardi Poligonos Altamira Malbec

Valle de Uco, where top producer Zuccardi has his vineyards, is known for its exceptional quality. They operate on a superb high-altitude terroir, boasting a long growing season with over 250 sunny days per year, and experiencing significant temperature variations between day and night. Their Chardonnay is a wonderful example of this. We, too, are huge fans of wines from these high-altitude regions, where wineries like Zuccardi and Catena Zapata are among the absolute top.

The Polígonos series revolves around 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 from which they originate. The vineyards are named after the people of that region. Each wine is made from a single grape variety. The grapes for this Malbec come from Altamira, from vineyards at an altitude of approximately 1,100 meters in the Uco Valley. The soil dates back to the time when the Las Tunas River flowed here and consists of sand and loam over a layer of gravel, and is particularly calcareous. This unique terroir produces complex wines with a striking minerality.

After harvest, the grapes are gently crushed, after which the must ferments with natural yeasts in concrete vats. After fermentation, the wine is further aged 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 notes. It has a full and smooth flavor with a striking freshness and a beautiful minerality. Rich notes, freshness, and minerality form a beautifully elegant interplay.
