WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Zuccardi Concreto is produced from 100% Malbec grapes. A portion of the wine undergoes whole-bunch fermentation, while the entire batch is fermented in concrete amphorae using native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged exclusively in concrete vessels, with no oak influence. This process is designed to highlight the purity of the Malbec fruit and the distinctive minerality derived from the calcareous soils of Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley.
