2019 Familia Zuccardi Paraje Altamira Uco Valley Mendoza Argentina

2019 Familia Zuccardi Paraje Altamira Uco Valley Mendoza Argentina image

(97 Points) The 2019 Aluvional Paraje Altamira comes from the south of Altamira or "new Altamira" (Altamira is not yet divided, but they have ideas...), and they used 80% to 100% full clusters and stems—one of the highest, because there's a lot of limestone. But this wine is always foot trodden because they want to avoid carbonic maceration, or sometimes they destem the grapes and add the stems back in a kind of lasagna, with layers. It matured exclusively in their raw concrete vats. The wine is serious, with an austere nose and some serious fruit (it's slightly lower in alcohol than the other two). It's very chalky and has very fine tannins and a texture that can be reminiscent of a Barolo, with some flowers emerging after some time in the glass.  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
