The Zuccardi Serie A range demonstrates the richness and diversity of Argentina’s many microclimates 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. All grapes for the Cabernet Sauvignon are from estate vineyards in the Uco Valley, an exceptional place for Cabernet Sauvignon, with the perfect combination of altitude and stony soils with large alluvial rock deposits that provide the wine fresh, spicy notes and structured, yet soft tannins.
VINIFICATION
The grapes were selected, destemmed and crushed. They underwent cold maceration for 5-7 days before classic vinification with indigenous yeast and fermented at 77°F (25-27°C). Then macerated for 20 days with daily remontage and delestage. Part of the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.
