Description

Score: 100 pts Jeb Dunnuck

Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal 2020 is one of the most precise and transcendent expressions of Sebastián Zuccardi’s vision in Paraje Altamira. Sourced from a tiny 0.93-hectare parcel located in the westernmost and rockiest section of the Piedra Infinita vineyard, this wine is born from a singular soil where the surface is pure stone, covered by an extraordinarily rich layer of calcareous material.

"A Malbec of monumental purity, with millimetric precision and unique depth. Aromas of fresh black fruits, wildflowers, mountain herbs, and a pronounced mineral imprint. On the palate it is tense, vertical, and razor-sharp, with vibrant energy, a chalky texture, and an extraordinarily long finish that reveals its exceptional origin. A world-class wine, destined to become a benchmark for Argentine Malbec." — Jeb Dunnuck
