Description
Red Wine.The Zuccardi Serie A range demonstrates the richness and diversity of Argentina's many micro-climates and soils. Serie A stands for "Argentina Series" as the way of expressing our most representative grape varieties by recognizing the best growing regions specific to each, and selecting top vineyard sites along the foothills of the Andes Mountains.This Malbec has a purple-black color and is bursting with blackcurrant and plum aromas. It is full-bodied with rich black cherry and chocolate notes and a velvety finish. All grapes are from estate vineyards in the Uco Valley, an exceptional area for Malbec, with the perfect combination of altitude and stony soils with large rock deposits, giving the wine fresh, spicy notes and structured, yet soft, tannins.
Tito Zuccardi planted the family's first vineyard in 1963 to demonstrate his innovative and effective new irrigation methods. Today, Zuccardi want to make wines which express their origin, the essence of their soils and the extreme climate conditions of the vineyards in the heart of every glass.
We are focusing towards sustainable agriculture, co-existing with nature without damaging it. We have a comprehensive waste recycling policy, and we incorporate the use of alternative energy sources into the production systems.

History
Some years before 1950, engineer Alberto ‘Tito' Zuccardi arrived in Mendoza from Tucumán, in northwest Argentina where his Italian grandparents had settled years before. He began experimenting with new irrigation systems because, back then as is the case today, water management is key due to its scarcity. In 1963 he planted a vineyard in the Maipú region, aiming to show other neighbouring farmers how his irrigation system worked, not realising that this would be the beginning of his life's passion.
Regional Information
The unique soils of the Uco Valley were formed thousands of years ago when ancient glaciers melted and formed raging rivers, known as 'brazos', that flowed from the Andes Mountains. These glacial rivers have helped create a rich landscape where native flowers, insects, and animals flourish. A perfect environment for cultivating the best grapes in Argentina.
