Description
Concreto Malbec Zuccardi, Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, 2020
100% Malbec unoaked, 50% whole bunch maceration.
This full bodied Malbec comes from high altitude vineyards (1100m) in Paraje Altamira, where the soil is bare (20cm on average) which leads to one of the best Malbec from the region.
"This malbec comes from vineyards planted in 2009 next to the impressive Zuccardi winery in Altamira. And it was the first wine to be vinified in that winery, in 2014. Without wood, and one hundred percent whole bunch, in concrete vessels, the 2020 vintage has been warm and you can feel something of that here, but what dominates is the sensation of verticality, of tension in a red that has a layer of ripe red fruit, succulent, but always with nerve; it never loses that tannic strength, that grip that gives energy, that gives shine."
95/100 points, Patricio Tapia, Descorchados, January 2022
