Sebastián Zuccardi's wines are one of the most widely sought-after from Argentina, and perhaps no other is as desired as the Finca Piedra Infinita 'Supercal' — a plot selection located in a uniquely challenging sub-acre plot on the estate. Here, the malbec grape is defined by mineral prowess up front, bracing zippy acidity, with thunderous and fine tannins; the aromatics present a storm of ripe fruit and dried herbs, whereas the palate confides in currants and Asian spices.

A stunning view into the bones of Piedra Infinita, the 2021 Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal comes from a .93-hectare plot filled with alluvial stones covered in calcium carbonate. It was fermented with whole clusters in unlined concrete tanks and underwent a 12-month élevage. It opens with a transparent, morphing and agile bouquet of dried flowers and crushed stones, presenting an overall brighter profile than the Gravascal and Piedra Infinta bottlings. The palate features a racy, sleek and lifted texture, offering the most bracing and linear focus of the Zuccardi lineup without sacrificing three-dimensionality. It concludes with a searingly stony finish with a snappy attack that surges with additional minerality while remaining remarkably complete despite its angular nature. While the other two Piedra Infinita bottlings are richer and more seductive in texture, the Supercal stands out for its striking minimalism and pristine, dexterous profile.
