Short description of your place and practices

Durigutti Family Winemakers began in 2002 as an exporting winery and a joint dream of brothers and winemakers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti. Located in the heart of the Las Compuertas IG, Mendoza, they gave birth in 2007 to Finca Victoria in this wine valley of great historical and heritage value to Argentine wine, which boasts pre-phylloxera vines from the early 1900s. Here, a life project of a first generation of winemakers with a strategic vision grows: to recover the splendor of this productive corridor, revalue the terroir, and position Las Compuertas on the international map as a relevant viticultural and tourist oasis. Today, Finca Victoria houses the expanding family winery and offers a direct connection with nature, the land, traditions, and wine. The entire project is framed within a working philosophy that bets on sustainable agroecology and the preservation of both the region's heritage and the biodiversity of the area. All product lines exported to more than 20 countries have vegan certification, and those under the Finca Victoria origin have organic certification for both the winery and its own vineyards. We are currently pursuing continuous learning towards sustainable development, measuring our carbon footprint and participating in Sustenta Vitis programmes such as waste management or energy efficiency.
