Zuccardi Tito Zuccardi 2015
La Consulta, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom a single site in Uco Valley's Paraje Altamira, this malbec (plus ten percent cabernet sauvignon and ancellotta) was grown at 1100m on alluvial / calcareous laced soils. After native ferment, this sat on skins for 20 days before transfer to concrete and barrels for MLF and a rest prior to bottling. Perfumed and flush with purple florals, blueberries, blue plums, blackberries, the medium-bodied, tight palate is scratchy with texture and studded with stones. Tannins are gritty and acidity is edgy; all in check with the bright fruit and weight (a welcome 13.6 degrees) of this new wave Argentine red.Tasted: 07 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $47.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
