✨ Technical Specifications
The 'De Sangre' (meaning 'of blood') collection is a heartfelt tribute to the Arizu family's historic legacy, representing the passion and ancestral dedication that has defined Bodega Luigi Bosca for over a century. This Red Blend is a masterful assembly of grapes sourced from select high-altitude family vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. The wine is designed to showcase the synergy of traditional varieties, combining the robust structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the vibrant spice of Syrah and the plush, rounded fruit of Merlot. Matured carefully in French oak barrels, it offers a complex profile of dark fruit, black pepper, and subtle toasted notes, embodying the elegant and structured signature style of Mendoza's premier terroirs.
🍾 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.
