Winery Cittanina

A family project born from the story of Nina and her family, who immigrated to Mendoza; the winery expresses the idea of creating a "place" cultivated around ancient vineyards and the memory of the land of Las Compuertas. The project is presented directly on the brand’s official website.

Strong focus on the terroir and the Malbec from a historic vineyard: sustainable vineyard management practices, harvesting in multiple passes to achieve a balance between acidity, fruit and tannin ripeness, and an emphasis on expressing the terroir of Las Compuertas.

The vineyards are located in the Las Compuertas district, Luján de Cuyo. The historic Malbec vineyard is reported to have been planted in 1930 and is situated at approximately 1,050 meters above sea level; the soil is silty loam and the area experiences significant diurnal temperature variation typical of Mendoza’s Andean region.
