✨ Technical Specifications
The Inframundo line from Durigutti Family Winemakers represents a journey into the 'underworld' of natural, low-intervention winemaking, focusing on the unseen subterranean life of the vineyard. In a region dominated by Malbec, this Nero d'Avola is a rare and compelling curiosity. The Durigutti brothers source this Sicilian grape from select Mendoza vineyards, fermenting it with native yeasts in unlined concrete vats to preserve its raw, terrestrial energy. Unfiltered and crafted without added sulfites, the wine is a pure, rustic expression of the grape, bridging Old World heritage with Argentina's high-altitude sunshine.
🍾 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.
