Today, the estate comprises over 200 hectares of vineyards at the foot of the Andes Mountains, whose wines reflect the rich terroir of the Uco Valley. The vineyards are planted with various grape varieties, including Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo. Zuccardi wines are praised for their complexity, elegance, and ripeness, and have frequently been nominated for prestigious international awards. The Zuccardi family remains committed to innovation and sustainability in their winemaking processes.
The grapes for Valles Torrontes are harvested by hand at peak ripeness. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery for further processing. Here, the grapes are pressed, and the juice is cooled and clarified to achieve clarity. Fermentation then begins at a low temperature to preserve the grapes' aromas and flavors. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months before bottling.
Zuccardi Valles Torrontes is a white wine from Argentina known for its freshness and aromas of flowers and exotic fruit. The palate is dry with notes of peach, apricot, honeydew, and white flowers. The wine has a good balance of acidity and sweetness, with a pleasant finish. It is a good choice for serving with fish, poultry, and shellfish dishes.
