✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the visionary Durigutti brothers, this Blanc de Blancs is a vibrant testament to Mendoza's potential for producing exceptional, high-altitude white wines. While Argentina is globally renowned for its robust reds, the Durigutti family applies their minimal-intervention philosophy to this white blend, capturing the crisp, sun-drenched essence of their vineyards. Sourced from select parcels in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, the wine is fermented using native yeasts and aged primarily in stainless steel and concrete to preserve its natural fruit purity and bright acidity. It represents a contemporary reimagining of classic white assemblages, offering a beautifully balanced, aromatic profile that highlights the diverse microclimates of Mendoza.
🍾 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.
