“Happy birthday my friend,” David Beckham wrote to Lionel Messi in Spanish and English and accompanied that text with a particular photo of both of them. The Englishman gave him a bottle of wine from the winery Catena Zapatafounded in 1902 and recognized for its pioneering role in having revived the Malbec variety and “having discovered the terroirs of extreme altitude at the foot of the Andes”, according to the official website.
“The first harvest was in 2004. That wine has the old label, not the one currently known. It is a wine that comes from two vineyards, the Adrianna vineyard and the Lunlunta vineyard, at the time, which is currently called Angélica and Altamira. That wine was the first great Malbec we made in the winery,” said Alejandro Vigil, oenology manager at the Catena Zapata winery, in charge of making this elixir.
“Thank you very much David!!”, was the response from Messi to Beckhamthe key man for the arrival of the Argentine to the MLS, the most important soccer league in the United States, which has broken all kinds of records in terms of attendance at stadiums and spectators following the matches on television since the arrival of the Argentine. .
