After a short debate, the elegance of the bottle and the design, the finesse of the drawing on the label made the consensus to reward ZUCCARDI, Argentinian brand .
“Committed to the development of the region, the engineer Alberto Zuccardi founded Familia Zuccardi in 1963. In a desert area such as Mendoza, agriculture is only possible with irrigation, which is why Alberto Zuccardi sought to perfect an irrigation system of his own design. During his search, he discovered his passion for wine growing. Following in his footsteps but leaving his own dynamic and innovative imprint, his son Jose Alberto began to lead the growth and development that allowed the company to consolidate and grow into the most demanding markets. Today, the company includes the talents of the third generation of the family as well as work teams. The Zuccardi family continues to follow the founding commitment, marking a path of shared values that allows us to continue highlighting Mendoza’s unique features”.
