In winemaking, two heads are definitely better than one when trying to make an incredible wine. Longtime friends and esteemed winemakers Pepe Galante and Mariano Di Paola collaborate to create these true labors of love. Theirs is a history of rich individual accomplishments; Pepe and Mariano are widely recognized as two of Argentina's most talented winemakers and educators. 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 Mendoza, and make superior wines from each harvest.
The name "mapema" is a combination of the first two letters of the partners' first names. Mariano seemed to think that he was more important so his name appears twice. Pepe often will say, however, that it takes two of Mariano to match the talent of one Pepe! The labels display grape vines following a harvest; a tribute to the origin of these divine fermentations.
