" We don't sell the wine without touching the vine "
Wine from Zuccardi
Filter
It all began in 1963 when Engineer Alberto “Tito” Zuccardi, obsessed with the constant fight against the desert in Mendoza, planted our family’s first vineyard to showcase the advantages of a new irrigation system he had invented. This led him to discover his true passion for viticulture, paving the way for the generations that followed.
In 1985, his son José Alberto assumed responsibility for leading the family business. Like his father, José Alberto´s innovative and visionary spirit have made him one of Argentina’s most enthusiastic wine ambassadors, elevating our winery and the Argentine wine industry to the highest global recognition.
In 2007, we planted our first vineyards in Canal Uco, Paraje Altamira, and gradually added new vineyards such as Piedra Infinita and Los Membrillos – also in Paraje Altamira – Las Cuchillas in San Pablo, and Las Cerrilladas and Agua de La Jarilla in Gualtallary.
In 1999, Sebastián – José Alberto’s son and Tito’s grandson – embarked on a personal project with several friends to craft sparkling wines in the Uco Valley. A few years later, he joined the family winery, leading our development in the high mountain region of the Uco Valley.
In 2009, Sebastián founded the Research and Development department with the aim of deepening the study of the different soils and other variables of the Uco Valley terroir, and their impact on the wines. His team’s work, exploring and uncovering the richness of the region, with its diverse soils, landscapes, and climates, has enabled us to cultivate wines with identity, truly reflecting a sense of place.
The same year, Wine Enthusiast named Zuccardi Valle de Uco “New World Winery of the Year.” The World’s Best Vineyards selected us as the Best Vineyard in the World for three consecutive years (2019-2020-2021), and then in 2022, welcomed us into the Hall of Fame.
In 2022, we became the only winery in Argentina with three wines awarded 100 points by Robert Parker | Wine Advocate, putting the Paraje Altamira region on the map of the world’s best terroirs.

Review:
A very young, beautiful malbec that is still a bit reductive now. Fresh herbs, white pepper, violets, iron and some ripe black cherries to the nose. Full-bodied on the palate with plenty of powerful, fine tannins. Mineral and super fine-grained. Needs time. Better after 2026.

Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita Altamira is made from 100 percent Malbec.
Deep red in color, the Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita Altamira expresses great fruity character with notes of red fruit. Grand structure and acidity on the palate with mineral with notes of wet stone and graphite and a long finish.
Review:
Quiet complexity that needs time in the glass. While it is brooding and deep, there is also a perfumed, floral and herbal aspect that makes it so attractive and unforgettable, even at such an embryonic stage. Freshly crushed blueberries, dried licorice, decadent violets, crushed stones and ash on the nose. Satin-textured tannins on the palate, which are tense, chalky and seamless. Powerful and juicy with impeccable balance. A great, cerebral and intrinsic malbec from Argentina. You can drink now, if you want, but it is a wine that you’d want to keep for the next two decades. A real charmer, especially for the wine nerds. Buy this and try!

Review:
"A velvety, poised and focused Cotes-du-Rhone with aromas of red berries, warm spices and a touch of bark. Full-bodied with round, ripe tannins. Creamy texture with a juicy and delicious core of bright berries funneling through to the lively finish with excellent length. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc.
The Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep ruby color. Aromas of black plum, blackberry, fig and ripe cherry, framed by toasted oak and caramel. A hint of dried herb and floral notes. The concentrated fruit flavors and integrated tannins introduce a rich, full-body structure. Sweet fruit is balanced with acidity and savory notes of leather and wet stone, ending with a lengthy finish of dark berry, baking spice, and mocha.
Review:
The nose is characterized by expressive aromas of baking spices, cedar, fig, and black cherry. On the palate, brooding red fruit takes center stage, while the wine remains soft and structured. Plush tannins, moderate acidity, and a lingering finish with hints of black tea and bramble round out this expertly crafted wine.
