Zuccardi Serie A Torrontes

Torrontes

Description: The Zuccardi family, have been living in Mendoza since the late 19th century. During the 1950's, current Director Jose Alberto Zuccardi's father, Don Alberto, started his own irrigation company, which specialised in irrigation techniques for the grape and soft fruit industries in the region of Mendoza. In 1963, as a way of demonstrating the effectiveness of his pre-fabricated concrete and of his irrigation systems, Don Alberto purchased the site of what is now the family's Maipu vineyard, forty minutes from the centre of Mendoza city. Here he developed an irrigation system using concrete pipes and then created a 16 hectare vineyard to demonstrate the system to growers. This vineyard at Maipu now amounts to 170 hectares of vines. So convinced was Don Alberto by the potential for using his irrigation expertise in arid areas, that in 1973 he purchased a second vineyard site in the desert area of Santa Rosa, a further half an hour to the east of Mendoza city. The farm extends to 1400 hectares of dry scrub-land, of which 410 hectares are now under vine. Since 1985 the company has been managed in its entirely by Don Alberto's son, José Alberto. The Zuccardi's company is now the largest family-owned winery in Argentina and ensures its quality in all markets by selling wines made only from the family's own grapes. The company is run as a family by a family and is committed to using as much manpower and as little machinery in the vineyards as possible.
