Cittanina “Coraje” Malbec – Power, Heritage & Character by Lautaro Martínez

Experience the bold spirit of Cittanina Coraje Malbec, an expressive Argentine wine created by Lautaro Martínez, iconic player of the Argentina National Team, alongside Agustina Gandolfo. This wine is a tribute to courage, tradition, and identity, born in the legendary terroir of Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, one of Mendoza’s most historic winegrowing regions.

Cittanina represents the place where two families and generations converge. Surrounded by nature and history, the winery sources all its fruit from old-vine Malbec vineyards planted in 1930, revaluing a classic area known for elegance, depth, and longevity. The project is led by renowned winemaker Federico Isgró, whose vision brings authenticity and precision to every bottle.

Coraje Malbec is harvested in three carefully planned stages: the first preserves natural acidity, the second enhances pure fruit expression, and the third ensures perfect ripeness of tannins and polyphenols. The wine is aged 100% in oak barrels of 225, 400, and 500 liters, achieving structure, complexity, and balance without losing freshness.

In appearance, it shows a deep ruby-red color with vibrant intensity. Aromatically, it offers blackberry, ripe plum, and dark cherry, layered with spices, cocoa, subtle smoke, and elegant oak notes. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined, with firm but polished tannins, excellent volume, and a long, confident finish.

Ideal for fine dining pairings, enjoy it with dry-aged ribeye, braised short ribs, venison with red wine reduction, or aged Parmigiano Reggiano.

Cittanina Coraje is a wine of strength and soul—a true expression of Mendoza and the courage to honor its roots.
