Episode 21: The Argentine Wine Revolution with Laura Catena of Catena Wines
Today the passionate Laura Catena, president of Catena Zapata and Luca Wines in Argentina, joins us for a fun, fast-paced episode. She’s a fourth generation Argentine vintner and her great grandfather was the founder of the Catena winery in Mendoza in 1902 after emigrating from Italy. Her father, Nicolas Catena Zapata, often referred to as “the Robert Mondavi of Argentina,” helped facilitate the ascent of Argentine Malbec onto the world stage. Hailing from Mendoza, Argentina, Laura became a medical doctor before she started feeling the pull to get into the family business. She took her love of research and science, and passion for her family’s winery, and came on board. She is currently president of Catena winery, her own project, Luca Wines, and oversees the research-driven Catenta Institute of Wine. Laura is a multi-hyphenate who travels, lectures, and spreads the gospel of Argentine wine yet also finds the time to still be a wife and mother to her family in San Francisco.
