2023 Familia Zuccardi - Malbec Valle de Uco Concreto (750ml)

2023 Familia Zuccardi - Malbec Valle de Uco Concreto (750ml)

From the sun-warmed vineyards of Valle de Uco, this 2023 Malbec from Familia Zuccardi expresses the region's characteristic depth and vibrancy through a concrete fermentation approach. Fermented and aged in neutral concrete tanks, it preserves bright fruit and a precise mineral core, letting the terroir speak without heavy oak influence. Housed in a 750ml bottle, this wine is approachable now but has the structure to evolve over a few years in the cellar.

Tasting notes

• Nose: ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum mingle with violet florals, a touch of graphite mineral, and subtle spice.
• Palate: juicy dark fruit with cassis and plum; cocoa, espresso, and black pepper nuances build complexity. The texture is silky with firm, integrated tannins.
• Finish: persistent and clean, with mineral brightness lingering alongside a gentle spice echo.
