Angelica Zapata Malbec Alta (4 botellas x 750cc)

WINE DESCRIPTION

The matriarch of the family, Angélica Zapata, a strong educator and director of the rural school in the area, instilled in her children the culture of study, work and reflection throughout the generations. Although Angelica died young, she passed on to her children her vision that Argentina's natural resources and its people were destined for greatness. Her son, Nicolás Catena Zapata, managed to position Argentine wine among the best wines in the world.
