Zuccardi Serie A Malbec 2022

The varietal Serie A range includes wines from the ‘Argentinean’ varieties, and the star of this range is, of course, the 2022 Serie A Malbec. Here they search for typicity from Valle de Uco, with freshness and flowers, red rather than black fruit, nice tannic structure and purity; they are not looking for complexity or limestone but varietal character, at which this excels. This has juiciness and structure and is fine-boned. It is very different from the Bonarda in this range. Drink date: 2023-2026. Score – 92. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Nov. 30, 2022)
