Named as a heartfelt tribute to Carmela, the mother of winemaking brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, this Reserva Malbec represents the family's deep roots in Mendoza. Sourced from carefully selected high-altitude vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, the wine reflects the classic terroir of the region, characterized by alluvial soils, warm sunny days, and cool mountain nights. The winemaking process respects traditional methods, utilizing native yeasts and aging in oak barrels to craft a wine that balances rich fruit expression with elegant structure, showcasing notes of ripe plums, dark cherries, and delicate sweet spices.
