Bodega Catena Zapata is a family-owned winery located in Mendoza, in the sub appellation of Agrelo, Argentina. The winery structure is distinguished by its pyramid-like design based on Mayan architecture.[1]

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]
