✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Aguijón de Abeja' (Bee Sting) line by Durigutti pays homage to the industrious honeybee, a vital symbol of biodiversity and health in the vineyard ecosystem. The 'Reina' (Queen Bee) designation represents the crown of this collection. This 'Fusión de Blancas' is an artisanal white blend crafted to showcase the vibrant synergy of Argentina's high-altitude terroirs. The Durigutti brothers employ minimal-intervention winemaking, fermenting the grapes in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the pristine, aromatic profile of the fruit. The result is a bright, expressive white wine that captures the fresh, floral, and mineral essence of its native soils.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2002 by brothers and winemakers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, Durigutti Family Winemakers is rooted in the historic terroir of Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention and deep respect for agricultural heritage, the estate crafts terroir-driven wines using native yeasts, gentle extraction, and maturation vessels such as concrete eggs. While deeply committed to revitalizing centenarian vineyards in Mendoza, the brothers also champion diverse regional expressions sourced from high-altitude terroirs across Argentina, ranging from the northern valleys to Patagonia. Durigutti is internationally acclaimed for its expressive, finely structured interpretations of Malbec, Bonarda, and Cabernet Franc, alongside premium flagship bottlings under the Familia Durigutti and Gran Reserva lines.
