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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1901 by Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is one of Argentina's most historic and prestigious wineries, located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Still family-owned and managed by the Arizu family, the estate has played a pioneering role in Argentine viticulture, notably helping to establish the country's first D.O.C. (Luján de Cuyo) in 1989. The winery's philosophy centers on showcasing the unique high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza through meticulous vineyard management and precise winemaking. Luigi Bosca is highly celebrated for its elegant, structured red blends and single-vineyard expressions, such as the iconic Finca Los Nobles Cabernet Bouchet and Gala 1 Malbec, alongside expressive whites like the Gala 3 Viognier and Linda Chardonnay.
