Zuccardi's Concreto series takes its name literally — the wine ferments and ages in concrete vessels rather than oak, a decision that keeps the focus on terroir rather than wood. The Paraje Altamira site in the Uco Valley is one of Mendoza's most celebrated high-altitude addresses: sandy alluvial soils over limestone, significant diurnal temperature swings, the kind of stress that concentrates Malbec without over-ripening it. The 2023 is fresh for Malbec — less extracted than a typical Mendoza bottling, more focused, showing the stony mineral character of its particular corner of the Andes. Concrete is doing exactly what it's supposed to here.

"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
