Cittanina “Pasión” Malbec – The Signature Wine of Lautaro Martínez

Discover Cittanina Pasión Malbec, a refined Argentine wine born from the personal project of Lautaro Martínez, star of the Argentina National Football Team, and Agustina Gandolfo. Crafted in the historic terroir of Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, this wine represents heritage, passion, and excellence in every glass.

Cittanina is more than a vineyard—it is the meeting point of two families and a lifelong dream brought to life among ancient vines planted in 1930. Under the direction of acclaimed winemaker Federico Isgró, this young yet prestigious winery reinterprets classic Malbec with a modern, elegant approach.

The harvest is carried out in two carefully timed passes: the first to preserve natural acidity, the second to enhance fruit concentration. Aging is perfectly balanced, with 60% matured in concrete vats for freshness and purity, and 40% aged in 225L French oak barrels, adding depth and sophistication.

In the glass, Pasión Malbec shows an intense ruby-red color with violet hues. On the nose, it reveals ripe red fruits, black cherry, plum, and subtle layers of vanilla, toasted oak, smoke, and spice. The palate is rich, expressive, and silky, with polished tannins, vibrant energy, and a long, elegant finish.

Perfect for fine dining pairings, enjoy it with herb-crusted lamb rack, wagyu beef with truffle reduction, duck confit, or aged hard cheeses.

Cittanina Pasión is a bold expression of Mendoza’s soul—authentic, elegant, and unforgettable.
