The winery was founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena and was passed to his son Domingo.[2][3] Domingo’s son, Nicolás Catena Zapata (A.K.A. Nicolás Catena), was a pioneer to introduce European winemaking techniques to Argentina,[1][4] including the introduction of Malbec and vine growing in high altitudes.[5][6][7][8] Nicolás Catena’s daughter, Laura Catena, and other members of the Zapata family, have also been involved in the winery.[9]
In 2023, it was awarded the title of the World's Best Vineyards.[10]
