Tasting Note

Highly expressive nose showcases vibrant red and black fruit, cherry, wild raspberry and ripe plum. The aromatic profile is youthful, showing delicate wild ferment nuances typical of minimal intervention practices. The aging in tinajas (traditional terracotta amphorae) enhances the clarity of fruit and structure without imparting additional aromas. It is medium to full-bodied, with a juicy fruit core and grainy tannins that add texture and a rustic yet refined character. Natural sediment may be present because wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

Product Notes

Bodega Catena Zapata La Marchigiana Malbec is an Argentine red wine that celebrates the Italian heritage of the Catena family. Made from Malbec grapes grown in Mendoza, it offers an inviting expression of the region’s character. Expect aromas of ripe blackberries, plums and dark cherries, complemented by floral notes and hints of spice. On the palate, generous fruit flavours are supported by smooth tannins and refreshing acidity, creating a balanced, approachable wine. Its rich yet elegant style makes it a companion for grilled beef, roast lamb, hearty pasta dishes or mature cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature for best enjoyment.

About the Winery

Bodega Catena Zapata

Bodega Catena Zapata is an iconic winery, strategically located in the dizzying heights of Mendoza, Argentina. Synonymous with high-quality Argentine wine, this distinguished winery has a rich history that goes back over a century.

Founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena, who was captivated by the splendour of Mendoza's sun-drenched vineyards, the winery was a dream birthed out of love for land and great wines; Nicola Catena planted his first Malbec vineyard in 1902. Today, this family-run dynasty is spearheaded by Nicola's granddaughter, Dr. Laura Catena, who continues to seamlessly blend traditional and cutting-edge winemaking techniques in the pursuit for quality and excellence.

The Catena Zapata winery is a must-visit for wine aficionados. Set against the striking backdrop of a snow-capped Andes, the winery's Mayan-inspired building is as much of an artwork as the mellow wines it houses. With copper walls reflecting the stunning Argentinian sunset and stone details carrying the weight of its rich history, a visit at the Bodega Catena Zapata is for both the eyes and the soul.

What sets Bodega Catena Zapata apart from other wineries is its relentless quest for perfection and its daring for innovation. Dr. Laura Catena, a Harvard and Stanford graduate, tirelessly explores the potential of high-altitude viticulture, using scientific methods to produce some of the most remarkable and highly regarded Malbecs in the world.

Bodega Catena Zapata is not just a winery; it's a living testament to the power of dreams, the beauty of nature, and the magic that ensues when we dare to push boundaries. A lavish banquet for both the palate and the heart - Bodega Catena Zapata is indeed a world-class winery.
