Zuccardi Finca Canal Uco 2015

Description

Unlike Finca Piedra, Canal Uco comes from much deeper soils that may be giving the aromas and flavors a bit more exuberance?and those aromas and flavors are blue. Sebastian Zuccardi doesn’t know why, but he relates it to the depth of the soils. In terms of winemaking, there are no differences. Both are made in concrete with some aging (less than 30% of the total) in used 500-liter barrels. There’s an exuberance here that isn’t common in the wines from Altamira, but beware, the tannins and imposing structure are felt almost as much as in the best examples from the area. But wait for it, because this is a wine for drinking in a decade, maybe more… Score – 97. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2018)
