The Olive Trees

Created in honor of the noble olive tree, which is as much a part of the Zuccardi family as the vines themselves, the Zuccardi Los Olivos range is a perfect introduction to the style of the Uco Valley, showcasing its wonderful minerality. This Malbec, aged for 6 months in oak, is a wine with elegant notes of plums, blackberries, and white pepper, with a long, fruity finish.

Several years before 1950, engineer Alberto "Tito" Zuccardi arrived in Mendoza from Tucumán, the small province in northwestern Argentina where his Italian grandparents had settled many years before. He began experimenting with new irrigation systems because, as is the case now, water management is crucial due to scarcity. In 1963, he planted a vineyard in the Maipú region, aiming to show other neighboring farmers how his irrigation system worked, unaware at the time that this would be the beginning of his life's passion.
