Bodegas y Viñedos Nicolas Catena

Mendoza winery exploring Bonarda, Chardonnay, and heritage Argentine varieties.

Bodegas y Viñedos Nicolas Catena operates in Mendoza, Argentina's premier wine region, where high altitude and desert conditions shape distinctive varietal expression. The winery's La Marchigiana line demonstrates the range of Mendoza's indigenous and classic grapes. La Marchigiana Bonarda, made from the region's signature dark-skinned variety, shows the structure and depth Bonarda achieves in these conditions. Chardonnay, grown at elevation, takes on the mineral precision and balance characteristic of Mendoza's cooler microclimates. La Marchigiana Criolla Chica, crafted from Criolla Grande—a heritage Argentine variety—reflects the winery's engagement with local terroir. Wine Enthusiast has rated these expressions, affirming their technical merit across the portfolio.
