Crafted as the flagship tribute to family heritage by brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, the Familia blend represents the pinnacle of their winemaking philosophy in Mendoza. Sourced from select parcels of old vines in historic sub-regions like Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, this icon wine reflects the diverse soils of the region. The winemakers employ traditional, low-intervention techniques, including fermentation with native yeasts in concrete vats, followed by extensive aging in French oak barrels. The result is a complex, deeply structured red wine that marries the rich, dark fruit character of Argentine Malbec with the structure and spice of traditional blending partners, capturing the spirit of family collaboration and the evolution of Mendoza's terroir.
