Sparkling wines hold a special place in my life, as they marked my introduction to the world of wine, my first project within the family, and they brought me closer to the Valle de Uco.
Zuccardi Blanc de Blancs is a 100% Chardonnay sparkling wine, crafted using the Champenoise method. We chose this variety for its transparency towards the terroir.
The grapes come from La Carrera, one of the highest and coldest areas of the Valle de Uco, at 1550 meters above sea level. The altitude, and consequently the lower temperatures, are key for the production of sparkling wines, especially when aiming for long aging on lees. As we gain in altitude, the pace of ripening slows down, preserving higher levels of natural acidity.
The wine is aged on lees for more than three years, aiming to achieve complexity and development in the mouth. The final dosage of sugar is always very low to sustain the backbone provided by acidity and calcareous soils.
I suggest using wine glasses, instead of the typical sparking wine flutes, to be able to fully appreciate the aromatic complexity from the terroir, along with the notes from aging on lees.
