In this episode we talk about: 

  • Laura’s family background and growing up in an Italo-Argentine winemaking family.
  • What led her to become a medical doctor and when she felt called to join the family business.
  • How her father, Nicolas Catena, saw the potential for Malbec as one of the great wines of the world.
  • The story behind Catena Zapata and how it conquered one consumer, one wine shop one by one.
  • The scientific, and cultural basis for terroir, how it applies to Malbec and clonal material, and why Laura founded the Catena Wine Institute.
  • Her own project, Luca Wines, was an effort to preserve the small grape grower traditions in Argentina and how that has evolved.
  • Sharing her love for her country through writing and books published on Argentina and wine culture.
