Catena Zapata was founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena. and today is one of Argentina’s most influential wineries. Its Argentino Malbec stands as a powerful expression of the country’s viticultural identity. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, the wine highlights the depth and elegance Malbec can achieve through old vines, low yields, and precise vineyard selection, offering layers of dark fruit, violets, spice, and a finely structured palate. The label itself is iconic, featuring a classical, almost mythological design inspired by ancient civilizations and the idea of Malbec as Argentina’s noble grape, with a central female figure symbolizing the spirit and rebirth of the variety in the New World.
