CATENA
La Marchigiana Malbec 2021
- 93 points -
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.
