About Zuccardi Polígonos Paraje Altamira Malbec

“Family businesses, with each generational shift, either reinvent themselves or dissolve” With this statement, Sebastián Zuccardi not only outlines his vision but encapsulates the essence of a winery that has adeptly reinvented itself without losing its soul.

As the third generation of one of Argentina's (and the world's) most esteemed wine estates, Sebastián did not inherit a formula; he inherited a conviction: wine is far more than just a beverage. It is landscape, culture, community. It is a magical endeavour.

Thus, from the heart of the Uco Valley, where the Andes Mountains transform into vineyards, Zuccardi has pioneered a new approach to Argentine wine. With 12 estates and over 1,100 hectares, they produce what they term mountain wines, where each plot expresses its identity with surgical precision.

On this journey, the Polígonos wines are born, a collection that not only bears the signature of Zuccardi but also that of the villages from which they originate. One such wine, Zuccardi Polígonos Paraje Altamira Malbec, is a true postcard in a bottle.

Hailing from a special corner in the south of the Uco Valley, between 1,050 and 1,150 metres above sea level, Altamira combines altitude, a cool climate, and colossal stone soils covered with calcium carbonate. The malbec that emerges here is pure Andean character.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged exclusively in concrete, without any wood intervention, this wine allows the terroir to speak unfiltered. Fresh, precise, with a firm texture and pronounced minerality, it is a malbec of pure identity, conveying the soul of Altamira without artifice.

For when the mountain becomes wine, and tradition meets innovation... there is no reinvention, there is evolution.

2022

Zuccardi Polígonos Paraje Altamira Malbec 2022 exhibits an inviting deep red hue, bordering on violet, which is a delight to behold. As you approach the glass, the intense aromas of ripe berries, such as blackberries and raspberries, along with plums, immediately envelop you, while a subtle whisper of chocolate complements the experience. On the palate, this powerful and silky wine offers an explosion of fruity nuances and a delicate spicy touch. The presence of vanilla and toasted notes adds complexity to the flavour profile, resulting in a rounded structure and a long finish. This Malbec is ideal for its balance between intensity and elegance, where its tannins are beautifully integrated, offering a pleasurable and memorable tasting experience.
