NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Zuccardi Malamado Malbec is a bold and robust red wine with an intense dark purple hue.On the nose, aromas of ripe dark cherries, blackberry, and a subtle hint of spice fill the glass. On the palate, the wine is full bodied with firm, yet silky tannins. Flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and a touch of chocolate are present. The finish is long and lingering with a pleasant hint of oak. All in all, this is an excellent example of a Malbec from Argentina.

ORIGINS
Winery: Zuccardi
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
