Zuccardi Finca Las Cerrilladas 2020

Description

Score: 98+ pts Robert Parker | 98 pts James Suckling

Finca Las Cerrilladas 2020 is an exceptional single-vineyard Malbec crafted by Sebastián Zuccardi from 30 micro-parcels in Gualtallary Monasterio, one of the most prestigious terroirs in the Uco Valley. Grown at 1,360 meters above sea level and surrounded by native vegetation and calcareous gravel soils, this wine expresses a deep synthesis between the vineyard and its natural environment.

"Bright violet in color, it displays intense aromas of black fruits, wild herbs, graphite, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is tense and juicy, with a chalky texture and fine tannins that bring structure, freshness, and a long, elegant finish. A work of origin and precision that proves why Gualtallary is one of the world’s most admired regions for Malbec."
