Catena Zapata Adrianna Malbec Fortuna Terrae

Description

Fortuna Terrae - "Luck of Earth" in Latin - refers to the "lucky" vines of this small plot of the vineyard Adrianna. In fact, the deep clay soils of this sector house a large number of native pastures that prevent erosion, attracting beneficial insects, singing birds and mountain foxes. Due to the freshness of deep soils and height, Fortuna Terrae wines have optimal acidity and delicate aromas to flowers. It is convenient to enjoy this wine after some years or decades after the year of harvest. Catena Zapata Adrianna Malbec Fortuna Terrae from Catena Zapata
