Aluvional Paraje Altamira

Zuccardi Aluvional Paraje Altamira is a premium Argentine Malbec from the Uco Valley, specifically the Paraje Altamira sub-region. Known for its unique terroir, this wine is crafted from old vines planted at high altitudes (around 1,100 meters) in soils rich with alluvial deposits. The region's cool climate and mineral-rich soils provide ideal conditions for growing Malbec, allowing for slow ripening and complex flavor development. The wine showcases intense aromas of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, combined with subtle floral notes and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is elegant and full-bodied, with well-balanced acidity, velvety tannins, and a long, persistent finish. This wine reflects the purity and character of the Paraje Altamira terroir, making it a standout expression of high-altitude Malbec. It is well-suited for aging, allowing its complexity to evolve over time.
