HATCH MANSFIELD - ZUCCARDI
Familia Zuccardi is a family-run winery based in the Mendoza region of Argentina, producing wines from the usual varietals as well as the country's first premium Tempranillo.
Founder Alberto Zuccardi moved to Mendoza in the 1940s from Tucuman, where his grandparents had settled after emigrating from Avelino, Italy. Faced with water shortages in the Mendoza region, Alberto experimented with a new irrigation system and, eager to prove it to his neighbours, planted a vineyard in Maipu. The experiment led to Zuccardi becoming one of the most prominent and prosperous wineries in Argentina.
