✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca's 'De Sangre' collection represents a deeply personal chapter in the winery's history, named in honor of the wines historically reserved for the founding Arizu family's private consumption—literally meaning 'of blood' to signify family heritage. The De Sangre Malbec is crafted from meticulously selected parcels in Mendoza's premier high-altitude subregions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. This wine showcases the classic typicity of Argentine Malbec, combining the intense black fruit and floral violet notes of the Uco Valley with the structural elegance and sweet tannins characteristic of Luján de Cuyo. Aged in oak barrels, it reflects a harmonious balance of traditional Argentine winemaking and modern precision, delivering a complex, full-bodied red with remarkable depth and a sense of place.
🍾 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.
