AboutFamilia Furlotti
The Furlotti family arrived in Argentina from Italy in the late nineteenth century and became winegrowers in Mendoza. Ángel Furlotti established the family’s first winery in 1914; a century later, fourth-generation Gabriela revived production with the 2014 harvest.
She has preserved old family vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, including Malbec planted by earlier generations. Native-yeast fermentation and a light touch in the cellar are central to the family’s approach.

Argentinian Red
Malbec comes from a twenty-acre Lunlunta vineyard at 3,300 feet. The site has alluvial soil and uses sustainable farming with vertical-shoot positioning. A pre-fermentation cold soak is followed by a cool, long fermentation with native yeast. Thirty percent of the wine rests in neutral French oak, followed by twelve months in bottle. It is lightly filtered before bottling.
