2022 Zuccardi Finca Canal Uco

The 2022 Zuccardi Finca Canal Uco is a striking expression of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir, crafted by one of Argentina’s most respected names in fine wine. From the cool, stony soils of Altamira, it captures both precision and depth, offering a polished red wine with a strong sense of place and remarkable intensity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep, vibrant ruby color with excellent brightness at the rim. The nose is lifted and complex, with aromas of dark berries, plum, violets, crushed herbs, and subtle mineral and earthy notes that reflect the vineyard’s alluvial, limestone-rich soils. On the palate, it is structured yet refined, with concentrated fruit, fresh acidity, and firm but well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and mineral-driven, leaving a poised, savory impression. Built for graceful development, it should gain additional nuance with several years of bottle age.

Production
Finca Canal Uco comes from Altamira, in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, where high altitude, cool nights, and stony, alluvial soils help preserve freshness and define the wine’s mineral character. Zuccardi’s approach focuses on precise vineyard work and careful harvesting to capture optimal ripeness without losing natural acidity. Vinification is handled with a low-intervention mindset, allowing the vineyard’s character to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef ribeye, slow-cooked short ribs, mushroom-based dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.

Producer
Zuccardi is one of Argentina’s leading family-owned producers, widely admired for its work in the Uco Valley and its commitment to terroir-driven wines. The estate has earned a strong international reputation for quality, innovation, and precision, helping to shape the modern identity of premium Argentine wine. Over the years, Zuccardi has become a benchmark producer in the region, especially for wines that highlight altitude, soil diversity, and freshness.
