Familia Zuccardi Description
Fósil is a white mountain wine. It comes from our vineyard in the Estancia Place within the IG San Pablo, at 1400 meters of elevation, and only 300 meters away from the Cordillera. e immensity of the mountain range and its proximity makes everything that surrounds it extreme: its climate, its landscape, its identity. Fósil is a place wine. Born from the unrepeatable combination of cold weather, calcareous soils, and Andean breezes from one of the highest areas of the Uco Valley.

“The 2022 Chardonnay Fosil hails from Zuccardi’s San Pablo Vineyard in the Uco Valley. It was aged in 75% concrete vats, with the remainder going into used French oak barrels. In the glass, it’s yellow with a greenish sheen. The complex aromas range from green apple peel to chamomile, lime, and mountain herbs such as huacatay, with a pastry backdrop adding further depth. On the palate, it’s lean and dry with a chalky texture and refreshingly tart acidity. The vibrant character is a showcase for the terroir with its austere, herbal notes. Better to keep it for another couple of years to let it truly come into its own.”
