Tasting Note
Perfumed violets, blueberry and plum with chalky mineral notes; fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, medium–full body and a long, refined finish.

Food Pairing
Western: grilled lamb, rib‑eye steak, roasted beef, aged cheddar. Asian: Korean BBQ (bulgogi), Chinese char siu or Peking duck, spicy Sichuan beef, beef teriyaki.

Production Method
100% whole-bunch fermentation with native yeasts; fermented and aged entirely in concrete vats (no new oak) to emphasize terroir and minerality.

Vineyard Info
Familia Zuccardi (Uco Valley pioneers) selects stony, calcareous plots (Paraje Altamira) for Concreto, focusing on site expression and minimal intervention winemaking.
