The Extreme Andes Mountains in a Glass of Wine 🍷. Inside Zuccardi's Precision Winemaking

https://spokenwines.com/winery/zuccar... At Zuccardi Winery in Argentina’s Uco Valley, Mendoza, wine begins in the mountains. In this episode of Spoken Wines, we explore how Zuccardi expresses Andean mountain terroirs with extraordinary precision — using detailed soil mapping, micro-parcel vinification, and concrete fermentation instead of oak to preserve purity and place. Guided by head winemaker Laura Principiano, viticulturist Martín Di Stefano, and winemaking director Sebastián Zuccardi, we discover why Zuccardi believes revealing identity with precision, how altitude and alluvial soils shape their wines, and why their vineyard-by-vineyard approach has redefined their wines on the world stage. From the Infinite Stone at the heart of the winery to the tasting room overlooking the snow-capped Andes, this is the story of how mountains become wine. 🍷 Featured wines include Finca Las Cerrilladas, José Zuccardi Malbec, Concreto Malbec and Fósil Chardonnay.
