✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Apuntes' (meaning 'notes' or 'annotations' in Spanish) collection by Luigi Bosca represents an exclusive, small-batch series born from the winemaking team's personal notebooks and experimental micro-vinifications. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, this Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to highlight the purity and tension of the terroir. The winemakers focus on capturing the vibrant mountain character, utilizing precise parcel selection and careful oak aging to produce a wine of exceptional structure, depth, and elegance, marked by intense dark fruit, spice, and refined tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1901 by Don Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca stands as a cornerstone of modern Argentine viticulture. Steered across four generations by the Arizu family alongside head winemaker Pablo Cúneo, the estate was instrumental in defining Argentina's fine-wine identity and establishing the landmark Luján de Cuyo DOC in 1989. While universally celebrated for red expressions, the bodega boasts a venerable reputation for white and sparkling vinification, drawing fruit from prized high-altitude holdings across Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Sited on alluvial, gravel-strewn Andean soils, these vineyards benefit from sharp diurnal shifts that preserve vital natural acidity. The cellar balances technical precision with restrained French oak aging to deliver whites and traditional-method sparklers marked by aromatic clarity and energetic structure. Signature whites—including the De Sangre White Blend, Finca Los Nobles Chardonnay, and crisp iterations of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer—epitomize the estate’s hallmark poise, mineral drive, and enduring Andean freshness.
