Product Description
Sebastián Zuccardi grew up in a family of strong visionary and innovative spirit. Since in 1963 his grandfather, the engineer Alberto Zuccardi, planted the first hectares of vines in Maipú, Mendoza, Familia Zuccardi has not stopped growing and developing until positioning itself as an important reference in Argentine viticulture. From his father, José Alberto Zuccardi, Sebastián inherited the determination and the desire for the permanent search for excellence. Today Sebastián, third generation of the family, is working in front of a young agricultural and winemaking team, in charge of producing wines with the highest quality standards in the Uco Valley. On his initiative, since 2008 the winery has a Research and Development area, dedicated to the study of terroir and the various variables that affect the quality of the wine. The objective is, in the words of Sebastian himself “not to look for perfect wines, but those that express the place, the region”.
A wonderfully rich fortified wine from Familia Zuccardi, using classic fermentation which is then fortified and aged for just over two years in aged French oak. A soft purple colour and aromas of over ripened plums, dried figs and nuts. A complex sweet wine with spicy tones of cinnamon and toasted almonds on the finish.
