Zuccardi Aluvional Gualtallary Malbec 2022.

"Aluvional is our search for expressing the particular identity of different sites of the Uco Valley.

What is it that makes our places so different but similar at the same time? The Andes Mountains, an inexhaustible source of richness and diversity.

When we started exploring the Uco Valley, we understood that the common denominator of its vineyards is the origin of its soils. They are alluvial soils, originated over millions of years ago by alluviums that, through the overwhelming force of the water flowing down the mountains, transported all the rocks, sediments, and minerals on which our vines grow today.

This is how we find different places at the foot of the mountain range, with an enormous diversity of landscapes, soils and climates, people, cultures, and histories.

Our challenge is to reveal that identity with transparency, and that is why we chose Malbec as a vehicle of expression." - Sebastián Zuccardi

"Continuing the excellence of the range, the 2022 Aluvional Gualtallary clearly delivers the unbridled intensity of Gualtallary with the unwavering precision and definition that permeates the Zuccardi portfolio. It is the most aromatically flamboyant of the three Aluvional bottlings, combining an inky core of black fruits with visceral herbal accents ranging from thyme, lavender and even rosemary, all of which are stitched together with total cohesion. The mouthfeel opens on a slender, focused note before unfolding with an almost voluptuous sense of gravitas, concluding with an explosive yet controlled finish laden with chalky tannins and the vertical energy common in the region's most striking examples. It's hard to imagine this not developing beautifully in the cellar and meriting an even higher score after a few years in bottle.” 96 points, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Aug 13, 2026
