Ernesto Catena Alma Negra

Alma Negra is Ernesto Catena's most enigmatic project. The blend's composition is deliberately kept secret: the idea is for the wine to be judged by what is felt in the glass, not by its technical labels. What is known is that its origin is Altamira, in the Uco Valley, and that it undergoes serious aging.
