About this winery
When Laura Catena decided to create a line of wines of her very own, she made a conscious decision to pay tribute to the traditional, small, family, growers and to a group of special vineyard sites in Mendoza, Argentina.

2023 (Vintage 2021)Paulucci is a producer from the Ugarteche zone with a vineyard planted 45 years ago about 970 meters above sea level. From a warmer area, this shows ripe fruit and herbal notes in a palate that has firm acidity and tannins with good grip for grilled chorizo sausage.
