He began experimenting with new irrigation systems because, back then as is the case today, water management is key due to its scarcity. In 1963 he planted a vineyard in the Maipú region, aiming to show other neighbouring farmers how his irrigation system worked, not realising at the time that this would be the beginning of his life’s passion. Today Bodega Zuccardi Valle de Uco is led by Sebastián Zuccardi. Following in the footsteps of his Grandfather, Alberto and his Father, José, Sebastián’s aim is to create wines of great purity, firmly rooted in the terroirs of the Uco Valley, in the shadow of the Andes Mountains. The family makes wines that express their origin, the essence of their soils and the extreme climate conditions of the vineyards in the heart of every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Paraje Altamira, in the shadow of the Andes Mountains, the Zuccardi winery was designed to reflect the surrounding landscape. It was built as a tribute to the austere and solemn mountains that define the climate and the soils of the region. The construction is part of the landscape, made using materials sourced from the estate and the nearby Tunuyan River. It is composed of concrete from the outside to the inside, from the stone walls, oblique and imposing, to the concrete vats in which are the wines aged. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020 Zuccardi was voted best winery and vineyard in the world for the second consecutive year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eZUCCARDI\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zuccardiwines.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Zuccardi Wines from Argentina\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ZuccardiValleDeUco\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like Zuccardi Wines on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zuccardivalledeuco\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Zuccardi Wines on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"zuccardi-fosil-san-pablo-chardonnay","title":"Zuccardi Fósil San Pablo Chardonnay 2021\/22","description":"\u003cp\u003eZuccardi's Fósil San Pablo Chardonnay is a simply stunning expression beautifully crafted by Sebastián Zuccardi.
