Durigutti Pie de Monte Malbec Finca Zarlenga - Los Arboles 2022
Â
The Land
Durigutti's Pie de Monte Malbec is from the rugged landscape of Finca Zarlenga, nestled in Los Ărboles, a subregion of the Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina. Perched at 1,300 meters above sea level, this vineyard benefits from the extreme altitude, where the intense sunlight and cooler temperatures create a perfect environment for cultivating elegant Malbec. The soil, a blend of alluvial deposits with a high concentration of limestone, contributes to the wineâs unique minerality and structure, while the regionâs dramatic diurnal temperature shifts ensure vibrant acidity and concentrated flavors.
The Wine
This Malbec is an elegant expression of Malbec, embodying the essence of high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. On the nose, it reveals deep aromas of dark berries, plum, and crushed violet, intertwined with subtle hints of graphite and spices. This wine is nearly indistinguishable from Northern RhĂŽne Syrah! The palate is rich and layered, offering flavors of ripe black fruits, cocoa, and a touch of minerality, all supported by firm yet velvety tannins. A long, persistent finish with a fresh acidity reflects the careful vinification process, which emphasizes minimal intervention to preserve the wineâs natural character. Incredibly value and under the radar wine!
The People
Durigutti Family Winemakers, led by brothers HĂ©ctor and Pablo Durigutti, bring decades of experience and a deep connection to Mendozaâs terroir. Their approach to winemaking is rooted in respect for the land to showcase the true potential of each organically farmed vineyard. The Pie de Monte Malbec is a reflection of their philosophyâcrafted with minimal intervention, allowing the unique qualities of Finca Zarlenga to shine through.
