Tito Zuccardi, Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco, Argentina, 2022
Paraje Altamira is located on the plain that extends south of the source of the Tunuyán River, between 1050 and 1150 meters of altitude, Paraje Altamira occupies the highest part of its alluvial fan. This place has a cool temperate climate, with great thermal amplitude. Its soils stand out for the presence of a large conglomerate of stones and granite gravel covered with calcareous material, where huge rocks can be found weighing up to 20 tons.
The 2022 vintage was fresh and well balanced. The particular combination of intense sunlight with low temperatures allowed the vine to ripen steadily and keep its natural acidity intact. These conditions gave rise to elegant, fine and complex wines, with a great balance between juiciness and freshness.
Selection of clusters. Co-fermentation of the two varieties in concrete vessels, with native yeasts. Part of the wine was aged in concrete and the other part in untoasted 500 liter French oak barrels.
