Zuccardi Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal 2017
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
Zuccardi has 38 hectares of vineyards surrounding the Piedra Infinita winery in Altamira that provide the grapes for several of its wines, including the outstanding Concreto, Finca Piedra Infinita, and Canal Uco. To a certain extent, those labels are the predecessors of this Supercal, a wine from a single block, the smallest unit in the vineyard so far. This year they made 1,800 bottles from that barely half-hectare block of limestone-rich soil, and the result is an enveloping wine with generous fruit as well as generous structure. The lime seems to leave its mark on the tannins, making them sharp and vertical. This is a very crisp malbec with great depth and length. A wine to drink immediately to taste the soil, or to open years from now to see how far that expression of place can go. [Will evolve for 15+ years from vintage.] Score - 99.
