✨ Technical Specifications
The 'De Sangre' collection by Luigi Bosca translates to 'of blood,' a poignant tribute to the Arizu family's multi-generational winemaking legacy and the wines historically reserved for their private cellars. This Cabernet Franc is sourced from select high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, particularly the historic El Paraíso estate in Maipú. The terroir, characterized by alluvial soils and significant diurnal temperature shifts, allows the Cabernet Franc grape to develop its signature aromatic complexity. The wine is crafted using traditional fermentation techniques and is aged in oak barrels to integrate its structured tannins, resulting in a sophisticated expression that balances ripe red fruit notes with characteristic spicy and herbaceous undertones.
🍾 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.
