✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the winemaking brothers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, the Gran Reserva Malbec represents a harmonious dialogue between Mendoza's historic terroirs. This wine typically sources its fruit from selected old vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, known for producing Malbec with lush, sweet tannins and dark plum characteristics, blended with high-altitude fruit from the Uco Valley, which contributes vibrant acidity, structure, and floral notes. Utilizing traditional winemaking techniques, native yeasts, and aging in fine French oak barrels, the Durigutti brothers capture the deep, complex soul of Argentine Malbec, honoring the legacy of the immigrant families who first planted these high-altitude deserts.
🍾 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.
