*Vintage may vary by location*

Intense red black Complex nose that highlights ripe black and red fruit aromas; subtle spicy notes. Firm and mature tannins that give structure to the wine. Fresh and elegant due to great acidity. Long finish.

José Zuccardi is a Malbec from the mountain, from vineyards in Uco Valley with a high concentration of stones and calcium carbonate in the soils. It is fermented in concrete tanks without epoxy and aged in large oak barrels (foudres).

Sebastian Zuccardi made this wine in honor of his father, Jose Alberto Zuccardi. Created in a more traditional style, the wine symbolizes Jose's passion for his wine family, his commitment to quality and his conviction for mountain wines.

A full-bodied and expressive malbec with 5% cabernet sauvignon. Minerals, black cherries and cool blue fruit. A touch of cocoa powder, but there is nothing plush. Concentrated but austere, with tons of juicy fruit and dusty tannins treading into a long, bright finish. Fermented in concrete and aged 24 months in foudres. Drink or hold.

Sourced from Altamira and Gualtallary, the 2021 José Zuccardi is 95% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that was fermented in concrete before maturing two years in foudre. It is an homage to Sebastián's father, aiming to evoke the historic wines of Argentina—as Sebastián says, "not the 1990s or 2000s, but the 1940s or 1950s." It leads with an inviting, focused nose of black fruits and balsamic accents, introducing a creamy, svelte and taut palate. It concludes with a seamless, refined and elegantly decadent finish. It is a perfect marriage of classically informed richness and contemporary precision.

The 2021 Malbec Jose Zuccardi contains a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon. It aged for 24 months in 2,500-liter French oak foudres. This is subtle and composed, with aromas of violet, lavender and field herbs framed by cedar. The style has evolved toward finesse and juicy texture, with chalky tension and fine grain. Remarkably, this has carved out its own identity.
