Zuccardi Malbec Aluvional Gualtallary | 2019

Not your average Malbec. From the sky-high vineyards of Gualtallary, where rocky limestone soils collide with the cool nights of the Andes, this is the side of Mendoza that's rewriting the Malbec playbook. The name “Aluvional” reflects the alluvial soils, which give the wines their distinctive mineral glide, along with waves of blackberries, violets, and fruitcake spice. Rich without feeling heavy, polished without losing its soul. It's not too good, to be Malbec. ~Allegra Angelo
