The terroir of Uco Valley with Sebastian Zuccardi

The Uco Valley in Mendoza has become synonymous with excellent quality wine and that is because of the combination of climate, soil and winemaking skill. Amanda Barnes interviews one of Argentina’s leading young winemakers, Sebastian Zuccardi from Zuccardi family winery, about the terroir of the Uco valley and how that expresses itself in the wine being made there, most notably the Argentine Malbec. This interview takes place in the soil pits of their Paraje Altamir vineyard where Sebastian talks about how the soil profile is transmitted into the texture of the wine.
