The best from Uco
The list of champions is a roll-call of the Uco Valley's most respected names. Zorzal — founded by the Michelini brothers in Gualtallary — makes its cult Eggo Franco there. Domaine Bousquet, Rutini and Andeluna are all serious Cabernet Franc advocates. And there is a lovely piece of history at La Celia in La Consulta: the first winery ever built in the Uco Valley, back in 1883, it was also the first in Argentina to bottle a 100% Cabernet Franc — a wine still praised for its long finish and silky tannins.
