Part of the Durigutti brothers' passionate 'Proyecto Las Compuertas' initiative, this wine is a heartfelt tribute to the historic winegrowing community of Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo. 'Tinto del Pueblo' translates to 'Village Wine,' celebrating the traditional, honest, and highly drinkable field blends crafted by early European immigrants and local families. To honor this heritage, the wine is produced with minimal intervention, utilizing native yeasts and concrete vats to preserve the pure, unadorned expression of the terroir. It captures the cool-climate freshness of high-altitude Mendoza, offering a vibrant, fruit-forward profile anchored in history.
