WINE DESCRIPTION

The Zuccardi Q Malbec is an exquisite red wine from Mendoza, Argentina. Aromas of ripe dark fruit, spice, and dried herbs lead to a velvety palate of currant, blackberry, and subtle notes of cocoa and leather. On the finish, there is a pleasant hint of smoky oak, along with silky tannins and a lingering earthiness. Enjoy this delicious malbec with grilled steak, roasted vegetables, or a creamy blue cheese.

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.
