Zuccardi Valle de Uco

While Catena Zapata established Argentina's global presence, Zuccardi Valle de Uco is currently proving that a single sub-region can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with any great appellation worldwide. Situated at approximately 1,100 meters in Tupungato, this estate has repeatedly been crowned World's Best Vineyard by the 50 Best Vineyards ranking. This reflects both the inherent quality of its Valle de Uco terroir and the Zuccardi family's unwavering precision. Unlike the #1 pick's artful cross-site blend, designed for consistent balance and expression, Zuccardi’s top wines, like the Finca Piedra Infinita and Concreto lines, prioritize minerality and textural grip over overt fruit power. These wines gain a distinctive savory, site-specific character from their limestone and alluvial soils. Prices for their flagship expressions typically begin around $60 and ascend sharply, making a compelling parcel-by-parcel argument for specific plots of land.
