Luca Old Vine Malbec 2022

Luca is Laura Catena's passion project to rescue old vines and produce wines that express the history and soul of Mendoza's century-old vineyards. She believes that “old vines are family” and strives to highlight the vignerons behind the wines and preserve the genetic diversity of Mendoza's historic vines. Luca purchases fruit from small growers, allowing these families to continue farming for another generation. She replants her vineyards using massale selections from Mendoza's 100-year-old vineyards.

The Vineyards are located in La Consulta and Gualtallary (Uco Valley). The grapes are hand-harvested and aged 14 months in 35% new French barrels and 65% 2nd use French barrels. All Luca wines are certified sustainable through Bodegas de Argentina.
