Sourced from the prestigious Geographic Indication (IG) of Los Chacayes in Tunuyán, Uco Valley, this 100% Malbec stems from vineyards situated on the southern zone of the alluvial fans of Arroyo Grande at altitudes ranging from 1,100 to 1,300 meters. Grown in a temperate climate with intense solar radiation on soils characterized by sand and silt deposits over small, slightly eroded stones with occasional limestone and gypsum, the 2020 vintage was highly distinct—marked by low yields and an exceptionally rapid, challenging ripening process. Handled entirely via gravity-fed grape movement, it was fermented with native yeasts and aged exclusively in concrete vats to safeguard its remarkable structural purity and vibrant sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\"Displaying a deep and intense color in the glass, the nose opens with excellent aromatic complexity, revealing rich layers of dark fruits interwoven with subtle floral notes and a refined, stony minerality. On the palate, it stands out for its great structure and striking texture, showcasing an abundance of juiciness beautifully balanced by an intact natural acidity. The finish is remarkably long, elegant, and persistent, faithfully reflecting the premium identity of this unique mountain paraje.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"16\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eWinery:\u003c\/b\u003e Zuccardi Valle de Uco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"46\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eProduct:\u003c\/b\u003e Aluvional Los Chacayes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"78\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Wine (Vino de Paraje)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"110\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"124\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/b\u003e Malbec\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"141\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eBlend:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Malbec\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"160\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/b\u003e Gravity-fed grape movement; fermented in concrete vats using native yeasts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"249\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eAging:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged in concrete vessels (vasijas de hormigón)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"303\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eWinemakers:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebastián Zuccardi (Winemaking Director) \u0026amp; Laura Principiano (Head Winemaker)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"393\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 14.5% vol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"413\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eTotal Acidity:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.4 g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"436\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003epH:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"444\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Los Chacayes, Tunuyán, Uco Valley, Mendoza (1,100–1,300 m | 3,609–4,265 ft)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"531\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 16–18°C (61–64°F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"570\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e Argentina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"589\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e Grilled ribeye steak, roasted rack of lamb, slow-braised wild boar or venison stews, rich mushroom risotto, and premium mature hard cheeses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"743\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eAging Potential:\u003c\/b\u003e 10 to 12 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zuccardi Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66990912503853,"sku":"_ALLCH2020","price":61.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1415\/8893\/files\/AluvionalLosChacayes2020_48337f60-9680-4228-975b-1826bf33e5d3.webp?v=1783427933","url":"https:\/\/uk.argewine.com\/products\/zuccardi-aluvional-gualtallary-malbec-2020-copia","provider":"Argewine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
