People: Pepe Galente & Mariano Di Paola, Owners & Winemakers
In winemaking, two heads are definitely better than one when trying to make an incredible wine. Longtime friends and winemakers Pepe Galante and Mariano Di Paola recently banded together to bring well over 40 years of winemaking expertise to their Mapema wine. Theirs is a history of rich individual accomplishments; Pepe and Mariano are widely recognized as two of Argentina's most talented winemakers. They joined forces with one thought in mind: take the expertise and experience of two seasoned winemakers, search out the best possible grape sources (in the "primera zona" or top viticultural area), and make just one super wine from each harvest. The name "Mapema" is a combination of the first two letters of the partners' first names.
Quick Facts:
-Made by two of Mendoza's premier head winemakers
-Long time friends who collaborate on these labors of love after they finish their day jobs.
-Drastically cut yields on usually over-cropped varieties.
