Bodega Catena Zapata is a winery located in the Mendoza wine region of Argentina. It was founded by Nicola Catena, an Italian who planted his first vineyard in Mendoza in 1902. The winery is one of the few family-owned wine companies in Argentina that remains in Argentinian hands.
History
Bodega Catena Zapata is an Argentine winery rooted in a long family tradition that dates back to the 19th century. Officially established in the Uco Valley of Mendoza by the Catena family, the winery was built on years of experience in Argentine viticulture. Its founding marked a deliberate move to harness the unique advantages of high-altitude vineyards to produce wines that truly reflect the region’s distinctive terroir.
Over the years, under the leadership of Nicolás Catena Zapata, the winery embraced modern viticultural practices and sustainable methods. A key element of its identity is the iconic pyramid-shaped winery building, which symbolizes a blend of tradition and innovation. This modern approach, combined with meticulous vineyard management, helped Bodega Catena Zapata gain international recognition for its flagship wines, particularly its Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
Today, Bodega Catena Zapata stands as one of Argentina’s leading wine producers. The winery continues to integrate its rich heritage with advanced techniques to craft wines that express the unique character of the Mendoza region.
