Tasting Note Zuccardi Valles Torrontés
A distinctly aromatic and fresh white wine made from 100% Torrontés, the characteristic white grape of Argentina. The aroma is full of jasmine, roses, orange blossom, and lychee, complemented by citrus, peach, and a subtle spiciness.
Despite its exuberant aromas, the wine is surprisingly dry and refreshing on the palate. The fresh acidity provides tension and balance, while the exotic fruit and floral notes are beautifully reflected in the taste. The finish is lively and slightly spicy.
Wine & Food
Zuccardi Valles Torrontés is a delicious wine with Asian and spicy dishes, such as Thai curry, sushi, Vietnamese dishes, and Szechuan cuisine. Also very tasty with ceviche, salads, grilled fish, and as an aperitif. The combination of aromatics and fresh acidity makes it particularly versatile.
Additional Information
The grapes for this wine come from Cafayate in the province of Salta, one of the most famous areas for Torrontés in Argentina. The vineyards are located at approximately 1,800 meters above sea level, at the foot of the Andes. The large differences between day and night temperatures help the grapes retain their aromatic character and fresh acidity.
The wine is made with controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. It then matures for about six months on fine lees, which gives the wine more roundness and texture without losing its fresh character.
At 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 hardly 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.
Since 1985, his son José Alberto Zuccardi has led the family business, which is now renowned worldwide for its quality. Zuccardi has been named Best Vineyard in South America multiple times, and their wines consistently achieve top ratings, with some even reaching 100 Parker points.
