Luigi Bosca's Extra Brut is a sophisticated sparkling wine crafted using the traditional Champenoise method, showcasing Mendoza's exceptional capacity for high-altitude sparkling wine production. Sourced from select cool-climate vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, the grapes benefit from intense Andean solar radiation and cool night temperatures, preserving vital acidity and developing delicate aromatic complexity. The wine undergoes its secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its fine lees, which imparts a creamy texture, fine persistent bubbles, and complex autolytic notes of toasted brioche and dried fruits, beautifully balanced by fresh citrus and white peach aromas. This sparkling wine represents the Arizu family's long-standing dedication to European traditions adapted to the unique terroirs of Argentina.

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.
