Catena La Marchigiana Criolla Chica - 6 Bottles

Product description

La Marchigiana honors the natural and sulfite-free homemade wine legacy with this very limited production. In 1898, Nicola Catena arrived in Argentina from Le Marche, Italy, bringing with him the family tradition of creating natural wines, preserved only by their own tannins. It is a "naked wine," in which only the grapes and terroir speak.

90 Points - James Suckling

Pale salmon-colored rosé with aromas of cherry, peach, lemon zest and hints of spice. Bubble gum, too. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Dry, fresh and focused.

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2020 La Marchigiana Criolla Chica is a rose produced with Criolla grapes, and it has a nose and palate that make me think more of a white wine than a pale red. The grape is mentioned as a traditional pink grape on the label, and the wine is subtle and elegant with floral notes, perfumed and fresh, without the rusticity and tannins often associated with Criolla grapes.
