The premium winery project is located in Paraje Altamira, in the department of San Carlos, 130 km south of the city of Mendoza, Argentina. Situated at 1,100 meters above sea level, the site lies among vineyards in the heart of the Uco Valley, at the foothills of the Andes. Located at the center of the Tunuyán River’s alluvial fan, the area offers exceptional conditions for viticulture. Combined with its remarkable natural setting, these qualities have earned it international recognition as one of the world’s most prestigious wine-producing regions. Within this context, wine tourism has become increasingly important for both the industry and the province. Its economic impact has fostered the development of hotels, restaurants, and complementary initiatives that offer distinctive experiences, bringing visitors closer to the culture of wine and the unique characteristics of the region. The architectural proposal responds to two fundamental requirements. On one hand, the building had to meet the demanding functional needs of viticulture and winemaking, providing the technical precision required for a world-class production process. On the other, it addresses the experiential dimension of wine tourism, where visitors play a central role and the surrounding landscape becomes an essential part of the experience. Zuccardi Valle de Uco Winery is conceived as a tribute to the austere and monumental Andes, whose presence defines both the climate and the soils of the region. The building emerges from the earth and merges with the mountain landscape, seeking a visual balance that minimizes its impact on the surroundings. The production facilities are organized around a strong central axis that articulates all operational areas, functioning as the project's backbone across its three levels. The underground level houses the aging vats; the ground floor accommodates the production process; and the upper level contains the laboratory, administrative offices, and tank walkways. The winemaking process relies entirely on gravity. Grapes enter through the harvest area and, following a rigorous double selection process, are placed into large bins that are lifted and transported to the top of the fermentation tanks, where vinification begins. The production layout adopts a U-shaped configuration organized around a large central courtyard, ensuring an efficient workflow while protecting operations from the site's extreme climatic conditions. The winery is built almost entirely of exposed reinforced concrete, exploring a range of surface finishes. Large hydro-washed cyclopean concrete embankments incorporating local aggregates and native stone emerge from the ground with a powerful tectonic expression. Heavy, monolithic volumes reveal the geological character of the site as a means of constructing architectural identity. Priority was given to locally sourced materials—including stone, sand, and water from the Tunuyán River—as well as to local labor. The main production hall rises from the terrain, exposing the truncated-cone fermentation vats developed through years of experimentation by the winery's enologists. Made of precast concrete, these vessels, together with the interior architecture and the building envelope, create a unified atmosphere illuminated by carefully positioned shafts of natural light. The result evokes the spatial quality of a cave, where the vats appear as though they had always existed, simply revealed. The winery is thus presented as a natural extension of the vineyard. The experience is further enriched through a series of artistic interventions. The entrance door, created by Mendoza-based artist Roberto Rosas, depicts the native flora and fauna, celebrating the life sustained by the winery. Between the structural masses rises a metallic dome, symbolizing the universal and the eternal, reflecting the sky and the ever-changing light of the Andean landscape. Inside, it crowns the aging and tasting spaces, while a suspended artwork by Guillermo Rigattieri, representing a seed, alludes to origin, growth, and future potential. The winery reveals itself gradually through movement. From the approach to its exterior walls to the sequence of interior spaces, visitors experience a succession of atmospheres where light, temperature, silence, and acoustics shape a sensory journey that unveils both the winemaking process and the culture surrounding wine. Producing wines that faithfully express the identity of their place is the result of research, dedication, and passion, both in the vineyard and within the winery itself. Science and art come together to create the magic of wine. In this sense, the project stands as a synthesis of technique, territory, and sensibility, offering visitors an experience tht is both meaningful and memorable.
