This Malbec is a true expression of the mountain vineyard where it was conceived at the Uco Valley of Mendoza. In this special location, our vineyards benefit from hot sunny days and cool nights. This combined with our rocky alluvial soils gives us incredible Malbec with intense red-violet color, complex nose, silky texture, and long finish.
Zuccardi Mountain Vineyards Malbec is sourced from select vineyard lots in Vista Flores and La Consulta, Uco Valley. It has deep violet color with sweet tannins, dark plums, blackberries and spicy notes. It can be consumed now, but will age beautifully for several years. The front label image illustrates the Andes mountains surrounding the Uco Valley soils.
