✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Apuntes' (meaning 'notes' or 'sketches' in Spanish) collection by Luigi Bosca represents the winemakers' personal field journal brought to life. Born from experimental micro-vinifications and the meticulous observation of specific high-altitude parcels in Mendoza, this limited-release Malbec showcases a contemporary, terroir-driven side of the region. Sourced from select high-altitude vineyards, particularly in the cool-climate Uco Valley, the wine is crafted to highlight purity of fruit, vibrant acidity, and chalky mineral textures. It reflects the Arizu family's ongoing quest to push the boundaries of Argentine Malbec through precise, small-batch winemaking and thoughtful aging, resulting in a wine of remarkable tension, elegance, and expressive floral aromas.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1901 by Don Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is a benchmark of Argentine viticultural excellence located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Guided by over a century of family heritage and pioneering spirit, the estate played a pivotal role in the creation of Argentina's first Controlled Denomination of Origin (DOC Luján de Cuyo) in 1989. The winery meticulously cultivates premier high-altitude vineyards across Mendoza's prime terroirs, focusing on sustainable practices and precise micro-terroir vinification. Luigi Bosca is globally celebrated for its elegant, structured Malbecs, exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons, and distinguished single-vineyard bottlings such as the iconic Finca Los Nobles series.
