The guys at Zuccardi have supercharged their flagship variety Malbec. You could argue that Malbec was big enough anyway but taste this and you can see the method to their obvious madness. Using the Port method of fortification, you stop the fermentation by adding grape spirit and boost the overall booze level. Aged in oak for 24 months the results are nothing short of spectacular. Full of dark fruit, prunes, quince and cinnamon spice it is amazing with a dark chocolate torte or a classic cheeseboard.

He has travelled extensively to gain more experience and broaden his knowledge producing vintages in, among others, France, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Catalonia and Verona, Italy. He is a totally dedicated winemaker who demands full attention to detail and instils a passion for winemaking in everyone he works with.
"A purple hue stands out with some orange hues typical of maturity. It has a delicate and intense aroma of dried fruits such as almonds, chestnuts and walnuts, combined with notes of plums, figs, quince and cinnamon. The palate is remarkably sweet and silky, with broad development and a persistent finish." - Ruben Ruffo, Winemaker.
