Wine professionals and experts from around the world are preparing to converge on Verona on 13-14 November 2023 for the 10th annual wine2wine Business Forum. As part of its rich program, the international wine business Forum is set to host an illuminating session titled "Enotourism: A Social Media Journey to #1," featuring the captivating insights of Dr. Laura Catena, the Managing Director of Catena Zapata winery in Argentina, recently acclaimed as the World's Best vineyard.
VERONA, Italy, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Laura Catena's unique life story as a fourth-generation Italian immigrant in Argentina, her extraordinary educational journey, her family's legacy in the wine industry and their unique marketing approach set the stage for a compelling narrative that culminates in the winery's monumental achievement.
Founded in 1902, Catena Zapata's origins are intertwined with the story of Nicola Catena, who, in 1898, embarked on a voyage from Italy to Argentina in search of a land of opportunity. In the breathtaking
Mendoza landscape, he planted his first Malbec vineyard, envisioning the development of its hidden splendor in the Argentine Andes. A century later, in 1992, Nicola's grandson, Nicolás, pioneered high-altitude terroirs in Mendoza. Settling on Gualtallary Alto, a region believed by some to be unsuitable for Malbec, Nicolás defied expectations, redefining the potential of the varietal.
Nicolás's pursuit of quality led to the creation of the Adrianna Vineyard, a testament to his belief in pushing the limits of vine cultivation. His quest for excellence culminated in the recognition of Catena Malbec as Argentina's #1 Malbec in the Wall Street Journal's historic feature on the varietal. Today, the Catena Institute of Wine's meticulous study of every facet of the Adrianna Vineyard underscores its significance as perhaps the most studied vineyard in the world.
Dr. Laura Catena is a fourth generation Argentine vintner, physician and author. Catena was born in Mendoza and spent her childhood with her grandfather Domingo at the family's winery in the small village of La Libertad. Laura graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1988 and has a Medical Doctor degree from Stanford University. She then joined her father Nicolás Catena Zapata at the family winery. In addition to her roles, Dr. Catena is also the founder of The Catena Institute of Wine, which has been at the forefront of pioneering wine research since 1995. Dr. Laura Catena's dynamic profile as a medical doctor and fourth-generation vintner underscores her mission to elevate Argentina's wine reputation on the global stage.
"Enotourism: A Social Media Journey to #1" encapsulates Dr. Catena's journey of combining her medical background with winemaking expertise, a blend that has catalysed Catena Zapata's trajectory to success. Her father, Nicolás Catena, instilled a fundamental principle in his daughter – to stand out by embracing differentiation. Dr. Catena's steadfast belief in authenticity as the cornerstone of differentiation underscores her approach to winemaking and marketing, and her session will elucidate how authenticity and strategic differentiation, amplified through social media moments, propelled Catena Zapata to achieve the coveted #1 World's Best Vineyard position in 2023.
Dr. Catena's session promises to be a captivating journey through her family's legacy, intertwining personal experience and strategic innovation that culminated in Catena Zapata's global recognition.
