Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal Zuccardi 2018

Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal 2018 is a single-vineyard Malbec from the Uco Valley of Mendoza, Argentina. The Zuccardi family is one of the leading producers of fine terroir wine in South America. Winemaker Sebastian Zuccardi has taken the site specificity of the family`s wines to the extreme. Located in the alluvial plain of the Tunuyán River, the Piedra Infinita vineyard is very heterogeneous in terms of soil composition, depth and limestone content. Everything is managed precisely, not just block-by-block, but row-by-row. The Supercal cuvée comes from a 0.78ha plot on the western section of the Piedra Infinita vineyard, where alluvial soil with deep layers of limestone-covered rocks predominate. "There is a strong iron note in the 2018 Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal, a Malbec from a small plot within Piedra Infinita, usually the first plot to be harvested within Piedra Infinita. It`s an extreme plot, very shallow and with pure stone and a strong character. They found this plot in search for `cal,` pure limestone, so they want a strong sensation of chalk in the wine here. This is austere, and I think it`s more precise than in previous vintages." Luis Gutierrez, 2020
