The grape originally comes from France but caused a surprise in Mendoza. In the warm, dry climate, it proved to be much better suited than in the cooler, wetter France. It developed ripe aromas reminiscent of candied cherries and blackberry jam. The old malbec was virtually rediscovered. Nowadays, the malbecs from Mendoza are considered the best in the whole world. At Zuccardi, they make malbec wines in various styles. The Concreto is powerful and full of fruit. Concreto refers to the egg-shaped concrete vats in which the wine matured. According to winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi, the wine becomes extra juicy and even fruitier in them, and achieves better balance. That balance is certainly good. Because of this, the Concreto is suitable to drink on its own and pairs well with many dishes, from pork roast to stuffed aubergines.
