If, like much of the rest of the province, you're a fan of Familia Zuccardi's Fuzion Malbec/Shiraz and feel like splashing out on something fancier for the weekend, take advantage of this LCBO Special Buy. Regularly $16.95 but now a Vintages Entertains feature at $15, the Zuccardi Serie A Malbec is something very special.
Tasting Note: The intense purple colour gives a hint of what's to come. A welcoming aroma of cedar, spice box and black cherry leads to a mouth-filling palate of red and black fruit, spice and chocolate-vanilla swirl. Supple and easygoing, it's well balanced and complex with a lasting velvety finish.
Enjoy With: There's enough fruit and spice here to stand up to the boldest flavours. Try it with your favourite meaty Mexican, Cajun, Indian or Italian dishes.
Style: Dry, full-bodied fruity red wine.
Terroir / Region: Located on the slopes of the Andes, Mendoza is a grape-growing paradise. Intensely sunny days and very cool nights produce fruit of remarkable purity and distinction. Grapes for the Serie A Malbec are sourced from vineyards in the sub-regions of Maipú, Vista Flores and La Consulta, enjoying the individual benefits of the three microclimates.
Producer: Familia Zuccardi is well known in Ontario as the producer of the wildly popular Fuzion line. A third-generation, family-owned winery, Zuccardi is committed to using as much manpower and as little machinery in the vineyards as possible. The Serie A range is the domain of Sebastián Zuccardi, eldest son of current owner José Alberto.
Availability: 2,500 cases were released Saturday, April 17 in Vintages. Look for it as a featured Vintages selection on the floor and in the Argentina section.
