Spec sheet
The wine
A high-altitude Malbec that combines precision, freshness and depth. It is part of La Posta, the project championed by Laura Catena to bring small, family-run winegrowers in Mendoza into the spotlight and tell the stories of the people who cultivate the land through each wine.
La Posta Pizzella pays tribute to the Pizzella family, who settled in Mendoza in 2000 and found in Paraje Altamira the perfect place to make great cool-climate wines. Paula and Pablo Pizzella, both physical education teachers, work alongside their children in a ten-hectare vineyard managed according to a philosophy rooted in precision, balance and respect for the environment.
