FAMILIA ZUCCARDI Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal Malbec, Valle de Uco

The fruit for the Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal Malbec is sourced from the Finca Piedra Infinita vineyard in the Uco Valley at an altitude of 1100m asl. Planted on alluvial sandy loam soil, with an average depth of 60-80 cm beneath a layer of stone eroded calcium carbonate cover on a clay matrix.

In the winery, the handpicked grapes are de-stemmed and pressed. Fermentation with native yeasts in concrete tanks without epoxy. Ageing occurs in 500L barrels and in concrete basins.

'The Tunuyán is the river that irrigates the most vineyards in Mendoza, and Canal Uco is the first of the hundreds of channels that take water from it. It connects to the river on its right bank, a few kilometres since the Tunuyán leaves the Cordillera. It has been for decades, the vital pulse of irrigation in the South of the Uco Valley. The first lands that, historically, have been irrigated with its waters, were those of the North of Paraje Altamira. In those lands, formerly cultivated with apple trees, we planted our first vineyard in this "pueblo”. This was the farm to discover Paraje Altamira, and it was the beginning of a path of knowledge and learning, in which we transformed the instinct into the experience.'
