✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
