Familia Zuccardi has opened a new winery the Valle de Uco a sub-region of Mendoza.
The Zuccardi Valle de Uco winery, located in the Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley, opened in march was the culmination of seven years of research and three years of building work.
The winery has a capacity of 970,000 litres, and will produce a range of wines from the Zuccardi estate.
‘The concept of the grand winery is to produce wines from the local terroir, where focus is put on the region and essence of the wine in different zones throughout the Uco Valley, such as the composition of the soil and different agronomic subleties,’ said Sebastian Zuccardi, the award winning wine maker.
The winery was built using materials sourced from the estate and the nearby Tunuyan River, with the walls designed to reflect the curvature of the mountains.
