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.
