Durigutti Family Winemakers
ARGENTINA
Brothers Hector and Pablo are passionate about expressing the characteristics of Argentina’s various terroirs along with freshness and bright, focused fruit.
Originally from Mendoza, they have produced wines at properties in Italy, Argentina and Chile. Then, in 2002, Hector and Pablo began their own family winery.
The brothers explore and champion terroirs beyond Mendoza under their Aguijón de Abeja range, ‘bee sting’, which pays homage to the laborious work of the bee! They look for distinct viticultural regions in Argentina and find the variety that best represents each province. They produce a Malbec from Neuquén province in Patagonia and Bonarda from the Catamarca province. The Malbec vines were planted back in 1930 and the Bonarda in 1938. Both are aged in French oak, the former for seven months and the latter for six months.
