Zuccardi Valle de Uco
Mendoza, Argentina
- The World's Best Vineyard 2019, 2020 & 2021
- Entered into the Hall of Fame in 2022
The sheer architectural prowess of the Zuccardi family’s Uco Valley winery has been attracting visitors since its completion in 2016, the surrounding desert’s natural beauty reflected (in many respects) by the metal cupola crowning a building made of locally sourced stones and cement. On fastidiously detailed tours, these people make soils scintillating, demonstrating the dedicated research and development team’s work and their bespoke concrete fermentation vessels – unparalleled Brutalist beauties. Tastings are held beneath the dome, art dangling from the ceiling, and paired lunches in the restaurant are accompanied by panoramic views across the Andes.
