Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal

When we speak of a "superhero," we are depicting a character endowed with superhuman abilities who performs extraordinary feats, while a "superstar" is one who is exceedingly renowned or skilled in their domain. "Super" is derived from the Latin "super-", signifying "above," "over," or "beyond." Therefore, when we append the prefix "super" to a word, it generally connotes that the subject is exceptionally good, surpassing, or excellent in relation to the ordinary or average. In keeping with this notion, Zuccardi, the internationally acclaimed Argentine winery celebrated for its production of outstanding wines, introduces us to Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal, a wine of exceptional caliber born from the relentless research and dedication they have poured into Finca Piedra Infinita, vineyards situated in the breathtaking Paraje Altamira, in the Valle de Uco (Mendoza) at an elevation of 1,100 meters above sea level, distinguished by its remarkable layer of calcium carbonate; hence the name Supercal.

Supercal is a terroir that originates from Piedra Infinita, an estate perched at the highest point of Paraje Altamira where, until the Zuccardi family cast their vision, no one had dared to cultivate. Although it is the richest area of the Tunuyán river's alluvial fan, planting vines there required the removal of more than a thousand truckloads of stone. It is from this labor that Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal emerges, a 100% malbec red wine whose supercalcareous soil is comprised of large stones coated with calcium carbonate on the surface. An exceptional terroir that, through respectful and sustainable agriculture, yields grapes of supreme quality. After a manual selection at harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in concrete vats without epoxy, using native yeasts. The wine is then aged in 500-liter used barrels before bottling.

Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal is a "super" mountain wine that, thanks to its exceptional limestone-rich terroir and the great efforts of the Zuccardi family, stands as a genuine gem of aroma and flavor. It is an excellent choice for those in search of a luxurious and exclusive wine.
