Revisiting a delicious Malbec from the Valle de Uco, Argentina 🇦🇷
This wine is medium purple with youthful, concentrated aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry, and plum; also dried sage, thyme, and lavender, wet earth, espresso, black licorice, peppercorn, smokiness, and game.
It is a dry wine, with medium acidity, a full body, high alcohol, medium tannins, and medium(+) intensity in flavors consistent with the nose. The finish is medium.
Evident in the purity of fruit expression, this wine has not seen oak, underwent whole cluster fermentation, and matured in a concrete egg (hence the name!).
Familia Zuccardi, Concreto, Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina. Vintage 2018. ABV 14%.
