Through each of their wines, Zuccardi expresses the essence of the wines origin: the unrepeatable combination of climate, soil, altitude, and the hand of man.

Each line of wines represents a concept, a belief, a homage to and faithful expression of the vineyard where the grape was born. The development of this range of wines has been led by Sebastian Zuccardi, with the philosophy of creating wines with identity through the exploration of the different soils of the Valle de Uco.

In 1963, Ing. Alberto Zuccardi planted a vineyard in the region of Maipu, not knowing that it would be the beginning of the great passion of his life, the wine industry. In 1990, his son, José Alberto Zuccardi, assumed the General Directorate of the company. In 2005, Sebastián Zuccardi, third generation of the family, led the development in the Uco Valley. Thanks to him, the winery has had an area of Research and Development dedicated to the study of the terroir and the different variables that affect wine production since 2008. Construction started on the new Zuccardi Valle de Uco Valley winery in 2013, now just opened in March 2016. Its philosophy is to produce wines with identity, through the continuous exploration of the different terroirs of the Uco Valley.

Each line of Zuccardi wines represents a concept, a belief, a tribute, and is the true expression of the vineyard where it was conceived.

The new Zuccardi Valle de Uco winery is a tribute to the austere and solemn mountain which defines the climate and the soils of the region. The construction “emerges” from the soil and truly “belongs” to it because it is made with natural elements: local, white calcareous stone, and concrete. Imposing stone walls and concrete vats guard the wines. There are no steel tanks at this winery, as it seeks maximum respect for the wine, in an environment of cleanliness and silence.
