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.

Founded in 1901 by Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is one of Argentina's most historic and prestigious wineries, located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Still family-owned and managed by the Arizu family, the estate has played a pioneering role in Argentine viticulture, notably helping to establish the country's first D.O.C. (Luján de Cuyo) in 1989. The winery's philosophy centers on showcasing the unique high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza through meticulous vineyard management and precise winemaking. Luigi Bosca is highly celebrated for its elegant, structured red blends and single-vineyard expressions, such as the iconic Finca Los Nobles Cabernet Bouchet and Gala 1 Malbec, alongside expressive whites like the Gala 3 Viognier and Linda Chardonnay.
