Some years before 1950, an engineer named Alberto 'Tito' Zuccardi arrived in Mendoza from Tucumán. It's a small province, in the northwest of Argentina. A place where his Italian grandparents had settled several years before. He began experimenting with new irrigation systems because, in those days and as is the case today, water management is key to managing its scarcity. In 1963 he planted a vineyard in the Maipú region. His aim was to show other neighbouring farmers how his irrigation system worked. He didn't realise at the time, but this was the beginning of his life's passion.
Today Bodega Zuccardi Valle de Uco is led by Sebastián Zuccardi. Following in the footsteps of his Grandfather, Alberto and his Father, José, Sebastián seeks to create wines of great purity, founded in the terroirs of the Uco Valley, that lies in the shadows of the Andes Mountains. At the heart of production, is the family's aim to make wines that express their origin, the essence of their soils and the extreme climate conditions of the vineyards. They then share this with the world, in the aromas and flavours captured in every bottle.
