Reviewed February 2024Such a naked, floral malbec. Stripped down, with fresh blackberries, blueberries, violets, stone, iodine and graphite. Full-bodied and tight with fresh, succulent fruit in a deep set. Intense, flavorful and very composed. Tannins are firm, tight and gritty. (ZS)

Descorchados
Concreto was first made in 2014, the first made at the Piedra Infinita winery in Altamira, and also the first to show Zuccardi's intention to make highly ambitious wines without aging them in barrels. From the beginning, it has marked a style of ripe red fruits, the sensation of voluptuousness associated with malbec, while leaving aside that sweetness that can often be cloying. To get to know the new face of Andean malbecs, this is ideal.

Tim Atkin
First made in 2014, when unwooded Malbecs of this quality were much rarer, Concreto has been hugely influential in Argentina. Especially bold and intense in 2023, it’s a well-judged cuvée of Paraje Altamira and Gualtallary grapes, all sappy blackberry and blueberry fruit, elegant tannins and a petrichor top note.

Wine Spectator
An elegant, vibrant and youthful package built around violet, pineapple guava and fresh berry aromas that join the palate. Cherry, orange and slate details swell around the fresh acidity and drive the finish, with cocoa bean and orange peel details and caressing tannins. (AR)
