The Zuccardi estate has been synonymous with primo quality in Mendoza (Argentina’s wine capital) for over 50 years. Headed by second-generation José and his talented son Sebastián, the Zuccardi family are “one of the top names in Argentine wine,” writes The Wine Advocate. So, as you might imagine, they know a thing or two about crafting world-class Malbec.
