✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, the Durigutti Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon represents the brothers Hector and Pablo Durigutti's dedication to showcasing the classic, structured side of Argentine terroir. While Malbec often steals the spotlight in Argentina, Cabernet Sauvignon has a long, storied history in Mendoza, dating back to the 19th century when French cuttings were first introduced to the region. Sourced from selected old-vine parcels in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, this Reserva expression benefits from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Andes. The winemaking philosophy balances traditional techniques with modern precision, utilizing native yeast fermentation and aging in oak barrels to round out the grape's bold, muscular tannins. The result is a wine that captures the intense solar radiation of Mendoza—yielding rich black currant and plum flavors—interwoven with savory notes of red bell pepper, graphite, and sweet spices.
🍾 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.
