Zuccardi

Zuccardi Valle de Uco is the outcome of the hard work and dedication of a winemaking family with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a very distinct identity of their own. The team's constant investigation and training resulted in the construction of the winery in Finca Infinita, in the Uco Valley.

The construction of our winery began in 2013 and it was inaugurated in 2016. The building is a tribute to the mountains, which define the region’s climate and soils. It was done with natural materials, stones from the land: round, white, chalky. The building is made with cement, from the outside in, from the stone walls to the epoxy-free cement tanks where the wines are made. The tanks and vessels are the result of years of experimentation in pursuit of the ideal vessel, resulting in the tapered neck, the element that makes it possible to work more naturally with the grape juices and wines.
