Wine Expert Note:

Familia Zuccardi 'Aluvional' La Consulta presents a symphony of flavors. On the nose, blackberries and plums intertwine with elegant floral hints. The palate unveils layers of dark chocolate, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla, all balanced by refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Pair this Argentine masterpiece with grilled ribeye steak or roasted eggplant Parmesan to complement its depth. While delightful now, this wine can further develop gracefully in the cellar.
