✨ Technical Specifications
The De Sangre collection by Luigi Bosca represents a deeply personal chapter in the Arizu family history. Historically, these were the private reserve wines kept exclusively for family gatherings and shared only with close friends—literally meaning 'of the bloodline.' This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from select high-altitude vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and Maipú, Mendoza, where the stony, alluvial soils and intense Andean sunlight yield grapes of remarkable concentration and structure. Crafted with traditional fermentation and aged in French oak barrels, this wine showcases the classic Argentine expression of Cabernet Sauvignon: robust yet elegant, with black fruit, cassis, subtle spice, and a distinctive mineral backbone.
🍾 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.
