Description

Luca Wines is a project by Laura Catena focused on showcasing Argentina’s old vines.
“As at Catena Zapata we only use grapes from our own vineyards, I became obsessed with working with old vines. That’s how I discovered a few Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir gems. From those discoveries, this project was born—one that values growers’ vineyards, something that didn’t exist in our country before.” — Laura Catena
