Alma 4 is a line of sparkling wines, born in 1999, which brings together four friends from Mendoza around the production of sparkling wines: the couple Sebastián Zuccardi-Marcela Manini (the oenologist at the Zuccardi winery and his wife, who also studied oenology) and the agronomists Mauricio Castro and Agustín López. All friends from the time they studied at the Mendoza Agricultural School. Each sparkling wine is made using the second fermentation method in the bottle -some have long aging periods- and they work with certain atypical varieties for bubbles, such as viognier. Its grapes are born in Vista Flores, Tupungato, Los Arboles and San José.
This is a sparkling wine without throating, aged for 30 months on yeasts, cloudy, due to the lees in contact with the wine, and to this condition it owes its name, RAW.
"This is one hundred percent unfiltered semillon that comes from an old vineyard in the La Consulta area, in the Uco Valley. A burst of acidity is the first thing that strikes you about this sparkling wine made with the traditional second-dry method. fermentation in the bottle. The aromas are almost citrusy and the bubbles prick the tongue, while the flavors of sour white fruits fill the mouth in an ideal wine for mussel ceviche." Patricio Tapia - Uncorked Guide
