✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca's Cabernet Sauvignon represents a masterful expression of this noble Bordeaux variety adapted to the unique high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza, particularly Luján de Cuyo and Maipú. While Argentina is globally synonymous with Malbec, the Arizu family has spent over a century demonstrating that Mendoza's stony soils, intense solar radiation, and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts are equally suited to crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from estate vineyards irrigated by pure Andean snowmelt, this wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by careful aging in oak barrels. The result is a structured, elegant red that beautifully balances the grape's signature blackcurrant and herbaceous character with the ripe, plush fruit profile characteristic of the Cuyo region.
🍾 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.
