The story behind it
Founded in 1902 by Nicola Catena, an Italian immigrant, Catena Zapata is celebrated for pioneering high-altitude malbec and cabernet sauvignon in Argentina. Under the visionary leadership of Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura, the winery revolutionized Argentine viticulture through rigorous soil research and parcel-specific vinification.
Sourced from the historic Agrelo vineyard in Mendoza, where sandy loam soils and cool high-altitude nights promote optimal phenolic ripeness. The estate winemaking team utilizes traditional french oak aging to impart structure and elegance into this single-appellation expression.
