✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Finca Los Nobles estate in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, this exceptional red is crafted from ancient, ungrafted vines planted at an altitude of over 1,050 meters. The wine is a traditional field blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc—historically referred to in Bordeaux as 'Bouchet'. These companion varieties are harvested and co-fermented together, a traditional practice preserved by the pioneering Arizu family. The terroir's sandy-loam soils, combined with cold nights and intense Andean sunshine, yield a wine of remarkable structure, deep complexity, and refined elegance, aged gracefully in French oak barrels to harmonize its intense dark fruit and savory spice notes.
🍾 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.
