Zuccardi Uco Valley Finca Canal Uco 2021

An unusual style of Argentine Malbec and one that I thoroughly recommend, and often end up reaching for at home. Intense dark ruby in colour, fragrant violet aromatics, with cocoa bean and damson fruits, this is caressing and full of charm, takes a beat before the smoky grilled herbs kick in, never strays into overly sweet territory, maintaining definition and backbone. Sebastian Zuccardi winemaker and owner. Concrete vats for fermentation and ageing, natural yeasts, vineyard set at 1,100m in altitude on granite and limestone soils.
