Crafted by the winemaking brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, this Cabernet Sauvignon represents a modern, terroir-driven expression of Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards. Sourced from selected parcels in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, the grapes benefit from intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, which concentrate the fruit's flavors while preserving vital acidity. The Durigutti brothers employ traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, utilizing native yeasts and aging the wine in a combination of concrete vats and oak barrels. This approach highlights the grape's natural characteristics—ripe red and black fruits, subtle spice, and structured tannins—rather than masking them behind heavy wood, showcasing the evolution of Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon toward elegance and freshness.
