Zuccardi Fincas seeks to highlight the maximum concept of terroir, showing the characteristics of the Uco Valley vineyards, which make them unique and unrepeatable.
VINEYARDS: Alluvial, sandy loam soil with middle depth of 60cm - 1.97 feet. Bellow rocks with a layer of clay inside and covered with calcium carbonate.
VINTAGE: The best description for the 2016 harvest is “Unique”, complex and challenging with respect to the climate and one of the shortest with smallest yields on record since 1960. The harvest started on the 5th of April with parcels of Malbec. We also harvested certain parcels earlier that are rocky and more calcareous and which showed very high quality.
WINEMAKING: The grapes were selected Hand, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation with native yeasts in tronco-conical concrete vats without epoxy. 30% of the wine was aged in 500L oak barrels and the rest in concrete vats
The 2016 Finca Canal Uco comes from the traditional part of Altamira across the street from the Piedra Infinita vineyard, with slightly deeper soils, less limestone and more ripeness and slightly more generous wines. Here, they do their best to avoid sweetness in the wines through ripeness. But the wine is the expression of the place, a different interpretation of Altamira, with a little more fruit in the nose and some notes reminiscent of a wine from the Northern Rhône: olives and iron and slightly coarser tannins. There will be people that prefer the power here and others that like the austerity of Piedra Infinita. 6,300 bottles were filled in February 2017 - Reviewed by Luis Gutiérrez, 31st Oct 2019, The Wine Advocate.
