Zuccardi Q Tempranillo highlights the character of old-vine Tempranillo from the historic region of Santa Rosa, blending ripe fruit with a refined structure and elegant balance.
The Santa Rosa region, located in the southeastern part of Mendoza at 620 meters (2,034 feet) above sea level, is one of Argentina's oldest and most traditional winegrowing areas. Known for its desert-like climate with warm days and cooler nights, Santa Rosa experiences significant diurnal temperature variation, which promotes natural acidity and well-structured tannins in the grapes. This vineyard, planted over 40 years ago by Zuccardi's founder, relies on the pergola vine training system. This system shields the grape clusters from intense sunlight while promoting airflow and maintaining the grapes' freshness, a technique well-suited for Tempranillo.
The 2020 has an intense red ruby color. On the nose, ripe fruits such as figs, cherries, plums, integrated with spicy aromas due to the oak aging. Soft entry with firm tannins and balanced acidity. Persistent finish.
