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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e91 points – Robert Parker Wine Advocate (2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards for this Torrontés are located at \u003cstrong\u003eno less than 1,800 meters above sea level!\u003c\/strong\u003e The large differences between warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to develop a lot of aroma while retaining their fresh acidity.
