Ernesto Catena, as he is called, considers himself a passionate and beauty-loving man. That is perhaps why he spends so much time making a good wine as well as designing his label. For him, wine is a bridge between nature, culture and art, he is passionate and involved in various projects such as the presidency of the Premium Escorihuela Gascón winery, where the 1884 restaurant is located, created a Polo team which is responsible for around the world and an art gallery in Buenos Aires but nothing compared to his own project and his greatest treasure: the Ernesto Catena Vineyards winery.
