Nicolas Catena Bonarda: A Bold Expression of Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Nicolas Catena Bonarda is a testament to the rich history and tradition of Argentinian winemaking. This unique red wine, made from a variety first brought to Argentina by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century, has evolved into one of the country’s most beloved and cultivated grapes. Grown in the southeast of Mendoza, where the climate and soil allow it to reach optimal ripeness, this Bonarda offers an exceptional level of concentration and complexity.
The wine comes from a small, 80-year-old vineyard with extremely low yields, resulting in an exceptional expression of its terroir. With an intense, deep red color, Nicolas Catena Bonarda features a nose of licorice, green spices such as oregano and thyme, and a distinctive, complex profile. The palate is rich, with great volume, soft tannins, and long-lasting persistence that lingers beautifully on the finish.
This wine is the perfect match for hearty dishes and bold flavors. It pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb chops with rosemary, braised pork belly, or barbecue brisket. For a more adventurous pairing, try it alongside duck confit with a balsamic reduction or a rich beef Wellington. It also complements aged cheddar or blue cheeses.
With its excellent structure and rich flavors, Nicolas Catena Bonarda is ideal for special occasions or simply savoring with your favorite meal. Each sip brings a piece of Argentina’s winemaking heritage to your glass
