Malbec Mon Amour by Laura Catena
Laura Catena and Alejandro Vigil, two of the most outstanding wine referents, present Malbec mon amour, the first geological guide to the regions and soils of Mendoza suitable for all audiences. This book, which combines technical and precise information with beautiful illustrations, images, anecdotes and colorful data, allows the reader to travel in a pleasant and entertaining way through the different moments in the history and evolution of Malbec, as well as the different Mendoza territories where the grape variety found fertile soil for its production. Throughout the pages of the book, the authors give clues about how and why Malbec became an identity brand.A Harvard and Stanford trained biologist and physician, Dr. Laura Catena was born into one of the world's great wine families. In her journey to elevate Argentine wine, Laura became obsessed with understanding what lies behind the most collected wines in the world. After publishing Argentina's definitive wine guide, Vino Argentino (Chronicle Books, 2010), Laura began to put together the materials for a book that would highlight the historical circumstances and relevant vineyard details that are at the core of the world's most iconic wines. This book is the result of 25 years of Laura's research into wine history, interviews and meetings with the world's best-known wine families, and vineyard studies at the Catena Institute of Wine, which she founded in 1995. Dr. Laura Catena has been named one of the top 25 wine innovators by Grape Collective, and has been an invited speaker at Wine Spectator's New York Wine Experience, the Nantucket Food and Wine Festival, the Naples Winter Wine Festival, the MUST Summit, the Master of Wine Symposium, the American Society of Wine Educators, the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter in London and Shanghai, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Vancouver Playhouse, among others. After publishing Argentina's definitive wine guide, Vino Argentino (Chronicle Books, 2010) and Gold in the Vineyards (Catapulta editores, 2019), now comes her third book dedicated to Malbec, the flagship variety of Argentina. She has appeared in Oprah magazine as one of the World's Top Women Vintners. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Food & Wine Magazine, Decanter, and The Economist 1843 magazine, among others. She has a robust social media following on Instagram (@LauraCatenaMD) and Twitter (@lauracatena).
