✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to celebrate the first decade of Durigutti Family Winemakers, the 10 Años (10 Years) release is a commemorative tribute to the journey of brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti. This limited-production red blend represents a harmonious marriage of Mendoza's diverse terroirs, sourcing fruit from select old-vine parcels in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. The winemaking philosophy centers on honoring their roots through traditional, low-intervention techniques, utilizing concrete vats for fermentation followed by patient aging in French oak. The result is a deeply expressive, layered wine that captures the spirit of Argentine camaraderie, family heritage, and the evolution of their signature style over their first ten years of crafting wine together.
🍾 About the Producer
Durigutti Family Winemakers was established in 2002 by winemaking brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, who sought to champion Argentina's heritage terroirs through precise, artisanal winemaking. Their viticultural base centers on Finca Victoria in Las Compuertas, a historic high-altitude appellation within Luján de Cuyo perched above 1,000 meters along the Mendoza River. Here, ancient alluvial soils rich in silt, gravel, and limestone combine with intense Andean sunshine and marked diurnal shifts, creating optimal conditions for certified organic viticulture. Rejecting heavy-handed intervention, the Durigutti brothers emphasize spontaneous native yeast fermentations, concrete vats, ceramic amphorae, and judicious oak aging to preserve varietal clarity and site transparency. Their portfolio reflects an extraordinary stylistic breadth, anchored by the benchmark Proyecto Las Compuertas Malbec and the icon cuvée Esencia, alongside heritage recovery projects such as Cara Sucia and terroir-driven expressions from regional outposts across Mendoza and San Juan.
