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.
