High on the western border of Argentina, pressed
against the Andes, lies Familia Zuccardi. In this ideal setting for
wine grapes, with its high elevation, low rainfall, 300+ days of
sunlight and renowned soils, the Zuccardi family has been making
quality wines since 1963. In "the land of sun and good wine," the
Zuccardi's grow all their vines under the parral system. The parral
system trains the vines overhead into a series of green arches..
This guarantees a high level of polyphenols and anti-oxidants in the
grapes. Grapes in their parral systems also benefit from a high
level of ventilation as they are suspended free of the foliage. This
guarantees their health and an adequate supply of light.
