2020 Zuccardi Finca Canal Uco

Finca Canal Uco a beautiful mountain wine Third generation of winemaker, Sebastián Zuccardi grew up in a family who is a key figure in the history of winegrowing in Argentina. Since 1963, when his grandfather planted their first vines in Mendoza, Familia Zuccardi has not stopped creating, innovating and pushing boundaries to develop the unique personality of new Argentinean wines. “We make mountain wines”, says Sebastian, “our Finca Canal Uco has been the beginning of a journey of knowledge and learning, in which we transformed instinct into experience”. In that land, previously cultivated with apple trees, they planted their first vines in Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley. Finca Canal Uco is a 100% Malbec, which transports us to a landscape of stones and calcareous soils. The vines are located at 1,100m of altitude. Sebastian doesn't look for a perfect wine but for a wine that best expresses the place, the vineyard. It highlights the Zuccardi pioneering spirit in Paraje Altamira. Over the years, Finca Canal Uco has become one of the family's great wines.
