Zuccaro is unique and indecipherable. It is the greatest masterpiece of Quinta Alta!
2018 was Quinta Alta's second harvest. Completely different from the 2017 harvest, a hot and dry year, this year was wet, with rain and a long harvest. Zuccaro is unique.
Grapes from a “field blend” that give rise to this wine. More than 16 varieties identified, on a schist land, from a set of 7 plots with different sun exposure, at an altitude ranging from 620 to 710 m.
The team's commitment guaranteed quality production. There was no significant loss, on the contrary, the grapes survived and were strong and healthy to develop good wines. It appears indecipherable. It appears harmonious and elegant. Long profile that seduces any mortal.
A nectar of identity that carries name and surname: Quinta Alta – Zuccaro!
Tasting Notes
Red color with an intense and dark purple hue.
Aromas of ripe fruits such as plums and very well integrated spices.
A nose from Douro, dense and intense.
It is full-bodied, sensual and enveloping, with a broad attack that continues into a weightless but intense mid-palate, defined by fantastic energy.
Round tannins and mouth-watering acidity, expansive and intensely floral finish.
