Pablo Durigutti

The Climb

Since 2002, Pablo Durigutti has held the winemaker-and-owner role at Durigutti Family Winemakers, with the day-to-day work measured by vineyard decisions and harvest after harvest rather than by display. Las Compuertas has become a central reference because the project was built there through steady additions, not abrupt moves. The result is a career defined by the slow work of making a place legible in wine.

Today

The work is centered in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina, where family presence and owned vineyards keep the project tied to place. His stated stylistic alignment is clear: "I identify with the American school following the line of wines with new world style." The ambition is equally direct: "My goal is to develop expressive wines with high quality capable of competing with the finest of the old and new world." Those lines place the focus on definition, not decoration. For Pablo Durigutti, the aim is wines that read clearly, carry quality without excess, and hold their own in a broad field of reference while staying anchored to their own ground.

Signature

Pablo's signature wines include Proyecto Las Compuertas Criolla Chica 2024, Proyecto Las Compuertas Malbec 5 Suelos 2024, Tinto del Pueblo Las Compuertas 2024, DURIGUTTI Malbec, and DURIGUTTI Bonarda. The repeated use of Las Compuertas points to the core material of the work, while the DURIGUTTI line sits alongside it as another expression of the same family project across site and variety.

In Their Words “We feel a strong commitment to reclaiming the traditions of this historic wine-making area and becoming the interpreters of this unique terroir.” “My goal is to develop expressive wines with high quality capable of competing with the most of the old and new world.”

Recognition

His public language keeps the winery tied to its setting as much as to its style: "We feel a strong commitment to reclaiming the traditions of this historic wine-making area and becoming the interpreters of this unique terroir." That statement frames the work in a specific Mendoza context: family ownership, acquired vineyards, and an explicit commitment to Las Compuertas. In Pablo Durigutti’s case, the project reads as a family-built winery shaped by inheritance, site, and continuing intent.
