ABOUT RICOMINCIARE
In 1902, Nicolás Catena arrived in Argentina from Italy. At Finca La Libertad in Mendoza, he continued an ancient tradition in new lands. His grandson Jorge inherited this legacy and passion for winemaking. Today, Jorge's daughter Viviana Catena and her family carry on the traditional winemaking methods passed down by their great-grandfather.
The family uses only grapes from their San Vicente Vineyard in La Consulta, Valle de Uco. All vines are 100% ungrafted and the vineyard has been in the family for more than 50 years. Deep sandy soils, high altitude, and snow melt from the Andes Mountains combine to create wines of unique personality.
The harvest is done entirely by hand. Only native yeasts are used, and fermentation takes place in small tanks, plot by plot. The wines are bottled unfined and with only the lightest filtration. The aim, always, is elegance.
