Description

Indulge in the rich heritage and exquisite craftsmanship of Angelica Zapata Cabernet Sauvignon Alta, a testament to the legacy of Catena Zapata, a winery synonymous with Argentine winemaking excellence. This exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon pays homage to Angelica Zapata, whose marriage to Domingo Catena in 1898 marked the beginning of a viticultural dynasty. The Catena family's roots in winemaking stretch back to the late 19th century, when Nicola Catena, an Italian immigrant, established a bodega in Argentina, laying the foundation for generations of winemaking innovation and tradition. Angelica Zapata's son, Don Nicola, continued the family's commitment to quality, shaping the winery into the esteemed institution it is today. Crafted from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina, this wine embodies the unique terroir and climate of the region, resulting in a wine of unparalleled depth, complexity, and elegance. The high altitude provides intense sunlight, wide temperature swings and allows for long, slow ripening of the grapes. The wine exhibits intense aromas of cassis, black cherry, and cedar, intertwined with subtle notes of vanilla and spice derived from oak aging. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied and harmonious experience, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Its structure and complexity make it an excellent accompaniment to a variety of dishes, enhancing the flavors of both the wine and the food. This wine is an ideal choice for special occasions, celebratory dinners, or as a thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts. Its timeless appeal and exceptional quality make it a true connoisseur's delight. This wine is a testament to the Catena family's dedication to excellence and their unwavering pursuit of perfection in winemaking.
