"The 2023 Malbec Concreto is sourced from Paraje Altamira and Gualtallary. True to its name—this purple-hued wine is bottled right after a winter in concrete vats, with no oak aging. It reveals aromas of violet and blueberry, with a touch of cherry in its deeper layers. The palate is compact and juicy, with underlying tension and a lingering chalky texture. Born in a warm vintage, the 2023 is rich yet balanced, offering a well-calibrated sip that highlights the fruit." -Joaquín Hidalgo

"As ever, the 2023 Concreto Malbec represents the Zuccardi style and philosophy as efficiently as possible at an aggressively reasonable price point. A blend of fruit from calcareous soils in Altamira and Gualtallary, it leads with a simmering, contained bouquet of black and blue fruits, purple flowers and desert herbs, followed by a dense, oily and tensile palate. It concludes with an intense, inky yet elegant finish lifted by focused minerality and streaks of salinity." -Matthew Luczy
