Wine Expert Note:

Zuccardi Aluvional Los Chacayes is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Los Chacayes in the Uco Valley. On the nose, Zuccardi Aluvional Los Chacayes offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries. These fruit aromas are complemented by subtle hints of violet, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. Flavors of black fruits, such as blackberries and blackcurrants, dominate the palate, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate and a hint of spice. The wine's excellent structure and balanced acidity contribute to a long and lingering finish. Zuccardi Aluvional Los Chacayes is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
