About Familia Durigutti
“Hector and Pablo were born in Mendoza, the cradle of wine and were raised together… Today the brothers have evolved to form the new generation of winemakers, leading an evolutionary change in Argentina’s viticulture. With that same spirit, the Durigutti brothers craft their wines and have started to write their own history, a family legacy, in a chosen place where they live and work daily with dedication.”

Mr. Durigutti

TASTING NOTES:
“Perfumed aromas of violets, blackberries, blackcurrants and wild herbs. It’s medium- to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Concentrated and chewy with a savory, saline finish.” (AbV 14%, pH 3.7, TA 5.26 g/L, RS 2.5 g/L)

BARRELS:
10 months in cement tanks lined with American oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
With the release of the first Animal Crossing game in 2001, if you were to reset the game console without saving, perhaps by accident or to exploit something, you were paid a visit by a character intended to scold you and discourage future resets. This character is Mr. Sonny Resetti, a mole dressed up like a miner, complete with overalls, helmet, and pickaxe. Because resetting became less prevalent on consoles over time, he became less reset focused and more of a reminder to save your game. Eventually he even became an optional part of the game, as apparently his harsh tone was too much for some young players. By the most recent game, New Horizons, because the game autosaves everything, he has been relegated to an emergency rescue service if a player needs to be picked up and dropped off somewhere.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Italian-American cuisine.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Not resetting your game before saving!
