| Description: | Wine Advocate 95+ Points - "The 2021 Concreto Malbec has to be one of the finest vintages of this wine despite its youth and still shy personality. But there are tons of flowers, wild herbs and berries there waiting to emerge in an insinuating way, with austerity but unfurling layers and layers as the wine sits in the glass. It's incredibly fine-boned with chalky tannins that scream limestone, full of precision and purity. For Sebastin Zuccardi, they didn't do anything different, it's just the character of the year. This is the wine that explains their philosophy without breaking your piggy bank. It is delicious, serious, approachable and with aging potential. What else do you want? I have sometimes confused this wine blind with one of their top bottlings. This is one of the best values around.". This wine is unlike any other Malbec we have ever tried. The Zuccardi's are pioneers of single vineyard, micro-climate wines in the Uco Valley and are taking Argentine winemaking to the next level of quality and refinement. Now, the Zuccardi's have crafted a Malbec which is fermented and aged in concrete vats. The emphasis of Concreto is on the pure fruit flavor of Malbec grapes, rather than flavors influenced by oak. We were floored when we experienced this varietal in its unadorned state with its intense aromatics and amazing complexity. We feel this "Naked Malbec" is so pure that it does not need to be clothed in oak! This wine is a transparent example of the Zuccardi pedigree and their ability to showcase Malbec in its purest possible expression. |
