Producer
Familia Zuccardi is a family-owned Argentine winery based in Mendoza, founded in 1963 and widely regarded as one of the leading voices of contemporary Argentine winemaking. Established by Alberto “Tito” Zuccardi, the estate was later shaped by the second and third generations, with José Alberto and Sebastián Zuccardi placing strong emphasis on the detailed exploration of terroir, particularly in the Valle de Uco.
The winery’s philosophy centers on expressing a clear sense of place, where altitude, soil composition, and microclimate define the style and character of each wine. Vineyards are planted on high-altitude, alluvial and stony soils at the foothills of the Andes, while winemaking is deliberately restrained to allow the natural identity of each site to emerge.
Zuccardi is especially renowned for its Malbec and Chardonnay, alongside single-vineyard and parcel-driven wines that map the diversity of Valle de Uco with precision. Zuccardi Valle de Uco winery has been repeatedly recognized among the world’s best, reinforcing the estate’s international reputation.
In addition to wine, the family also produces high-quality extra virgin olive oils, with sustainability and long-term environmental stewardship as core principles of the project.
