Asado Malbec 2022
Classic Movie Pairing
Blood on the Moon (1948)Rich, expressive and hearty, this Malbec was inspired by the warmth and fun of an asado, a traditional Argentinean barbecue. What better to pair it with than a cattle and cowboy Western? Robert Mitchum stars as a gunslinger who is hired by his old friend Robert Preston to drive a rival rancher off his property and out of business. Alliances are soon tested when Mitchum falls for his target's daughter, played by Barbara Bel Geddes. This taut film is the perfect match for this bold red.

Wine Flavor Profile
Asado Malbec is a medium- to full-bodied red wine. Look for complex aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and violet. The palate has similar flavors, with food-friendly tannins and a long, fruit-rich finish.
No weekend in Argentina is truly complete without an asado, where friends and family gather to enjoy a selection of flame-grilled meats from the barbecue. Inspired by this delicious tradition, Asado Malbec is a smooth, flavorful red wine that’s ready for a juicy steak.
Asado is crafted by Familia Zuccardi, who was “one of the pioneers” of Argentine wine, “pursuing quality when others were satisfied with quantity,” according to The Wine Advocate. Founded in 1963 by Alberto Zuccardi, the estate is led today by his son José (below) and grandson Sebastián. Decanter ranked Sebastián No. 1 on its “Top 10” list of South American winemakers, and has declared all three men “among the five most influential personalities in Argentine wine.”
After selecting the ripest Malbec grapes from their Mendoza vineyards, Sebastián and his team aged the wine in French oak barrels for 12 months. The resulting wine brims with expressive violet, ripe black fruit and toasty spice notes. Enjoy it at your own barbecues or alongside any rich, hearty meals.
Argentine Malbec is an incredibly popular wine style, and the Zuccardis make some of the finest we’ve tried. Hurry for your share of Asado.
“One of the top names in Argentine wine.”
