Location: Argentina
Winemaker: Pablo and Hector Durigutti
Grapes: Cabernet Franc
Winemaking: Organic farming. Hand harvest. 6 day maceration, 20 day fermentation with native yeasts, malolactic fermentation in oak. Aged 8 months in oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered
From the Importer The Artisan Collection: Hector and Pablo Durigutti are two of the most well known young winemakers in Argentina. The brothers endeavor to make wines which capture the place and essence of each vineyard and vintage. At the same time, their wines support and revitalize the regions where the grapes are cultivated, preserving each area's tradition of viticulture and ensuring their futures.
Hector and Pablo Durigutti are the winemakers behind the Aguijón de Abeja wines. Their backgrounds are quite complementary: Hector started at Alto Las Hormigas at the age of 15 and has completed 25 projects at various well known wineries, learning old world techniques and agriculture. Pablo started at La Rural, a winery now owned by Catena, and honed new world viticultural practices. The brothers started with only 3000 bottles in 2002 and production has grown steadily.
The grapes in the Durigutti brothers' wines are organically grown and hand-harvested. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts, no winemaking additives are used and the wines are not fined or filtered. Sulfite levels are only 25-30 mg / L. The wines showcase generous New World fruit with Old World elegance. This delicate balance is a trademark of the Durigutti brothers, two of the most well known young winemakers in Argentina right now.
