Durigutti is a family winery, founded by brothers Héctor and Pablo in 2002. They are Mendoza natives, working tirelessly to express their homeland through the medium of wine. The winery is located in the diverse terroir of Las Compuertas, within the wider appellations of Luján de Cuyo and Mendoza. To create “Cinco Suelos”, the two brothers have harvested grapes from a combination of deep clay loam, silt loam, rocky loam, sandy loam and boulder loam.

Only 9,000 bottles of this experimental Malbec were made by the Durigutti Brothers, Hector and Pablo. It is made from five different parcels of vines, defined according to the soil profile: deep clay loam, silt loam, rocky loam, sandy loam and boulder loam. Each parcel is vinified separately in 'concrete eggs' before the final blend is created. The vineyard is at an altitude of 1,050 meters, ensuring good levels of acidity, vital in the production for high quality Malbec, medium - full bodied, with lovely pure fruit and a refreshing balanced finish.
