The grapes come from a high-altitude vineyard (approx. 1060 meters) with stony, calcareous soils that provide freshness, structure, and a distinct mineral touch. The wine was partially fermented and aged in concrete vats and partly in used French oak barriques, resulting in a perfect balance between pure fruit and subtle complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name Los Membrillos refers to the quince trees (membrillo in Spanish) that once grew on the estate. The wine perfectly reflects the terroir of Altamira: intense, mineral, and full of character, a pure expression of the Andes in a glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place in (conical) concrete vats with indigenous yeasts. Approximately 50% of the wine matures in French oak (used 500-liter barrels), the rest remains in concrete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the 19th century, the Zuccardi family emigrated from Italy to Argentina. In the 1950s, Alberto V. Zuccardi founded an irrigation company, a logical step in a country where agriculture is barely possible without irrigation. To demonstrate the success of his system, he planted his first vineyards in Maipú in 1963, followed by an expansion near Mendoza. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1985, his son José Alberto Zuccardi has led the family business, which is now renowned worldwide for its quality.
