About this winery

At heart, Catena is a story about family. Family who poured their lives, passion and spirit into transforming scrub-laden desert into some of the most beautiful and unique vineyards in the world. Family that passed their knowledge from generation to generation, blending collective memory with state-of-the-art science from the new world of viticulture. Family who, through risk-taking, faith and a little luck, transformed their treasured Mendoza terroir into the fountainhead of the award-winning...

Product notes

La Marchingiana honours the natural and sulfate-free homemade wine legacy with this very limited production. "Naked wines in which only grapes and terroir speak."

Tasting notes

Notes of dark plums and spices with marked hints of chocolate, coffee beans and earth. Full body, structured and very grainy tannins, layers of dark fruit with delicate umami tones and a super tasty finish. This is a 'natural wine' made without added sulfites.

January 2023

This is a selection from Catena's historic vineyard, Finca Angelica, on the banks of the Mendoza River in the Lunlunta area, at an altitude of about 920 meters. And it has the character of the wines from that place, the succulence of the texture, the aromas of violets and ripe red fruits, the sensation of depth and sweetness, the very soft tannins, as if they were round. And the finish that leaves a sweet and friendly sensation of fruits and flowers. A classic that is aged for about eight months in clay amphorae and has not been aged in barrels.

November 2022

The dark purple 2021 La Marchigiana Malbec is young, primary and clean with varietal aromas of violet and wild berries, juicy and fresh, with moderate ripeness and 13.9% alcohol, dry, clean and with a medium-bodied palate and fine tannins. One could say this had added sulfur, as it's precise and clean. 6,000 bottles were filled in November 2021 after spending eight months in clay pots.
