2021 Familia Zuccardi "Finca Canal Uco" Malbec Mendoza

Descorchados
Review Date: 01/2024The 2021 season in the Uco Valley was exceptional, full of abundant red fruit in a cool year that has given rise to lively, long, and tense red wines. This one is full of tart red fruit and knife-sharp tannins, and the palate is brimming with herbs and flowers. One to drink now—or in another 10 or 20 years. This is a selection of the first vineyards that Zuccardi planted after removing an old apple orchard in Altamira, in the northern Uco Valley. Of the 50 hectares planted in 2007, they chose individual rows of massal selections from the family's vineyards in Maipú. The vineyards were planted 1,100 meters above sea level on deep silty and sandy soils with limestone-coated stone 80 cm below. The wine was aged entirely in concrete.
