✨ Technical Specifications
Proyecto Las Compuertas is a passionate initiative by brothers Hector and Pablo Durigutti to preserve the historic, threatened vineyards of Las Compuertas in Luj!n de Cuyo from urban development. This expression of Charbono (historically known as Bonarda or Douce Noir) is sourced from a small, high-altitude parcel planted on clay-loam soils. To honor the purity of the fruit and the heritage of the land, the wine is crafted with minimal intervention, utilizing native yeasts and aging exclusively in unlined concrete vats. This traditional approach coaxes out a vibrant, rustic yet incredibly elegant profile, celebrating the historical legacy of one of Argentina's unsung grape varieties.
🍾 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.
