2019 Catena Zapata La Marchigiana Bonarda [JS93]

"Lots of crushed berries and hints of walnuts and mahogany. Some thyme. It’s soft and round with pleasing tannins and a fruity, creamy-textured finish. No sulfur added. Fermented and aged in amphora." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Concentrated blueberry and dark fruit laced with cedar, tobacco, earth and spice. Medium to full-bodied wine. Complex herbal notes. Finely grained tannins. Balanced, fruity palate. Natural, sulfite-free wine. 

La Marchigiana honors the natural and sulfite-free homemade wine legacy with this very limitied production.   In 1898, Nicola Catena arrived in Argentina from Le Marche, Italy, bringing with him the family tradition of creating natural wines, preserved only by their own tannins. It is a "naked wine", in which only the grapes and terroir speak."
