Professional career
Although the Catena family began cultivating malbec in 1902, the greatest advancements of this winery have been achieved under Nicolás's leadership over the past thirty years. The success lies in their attention to detail. In the words of Jancis Robinson, he is "a man driven by the spirit of scientific discovery." Together with his daughter and his team, he has unlocked many of the secrets of high-altitude winemaking.
