✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca's Gala 4 is a sophisticated and modern expression of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir, specifically showcasing the synergy between Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The 'Gala' collection was conceived to highlight the art of blending, with Gala 4 focusing on the structure and aromatic complexity of Cabernet Franc, rounded out by a small touch of Malbec. Sourced from select old vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, the grapes benefit from intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. This results in a wine of deep ruby color, characterized by intense aromas of red fruits, black pepper, and subtle herbaceous notes, complemented by elegant integration of French oak from its aging process. It represents the pioneering spirit of the Arizu family, who have spent over a century defining the limits of Argentine winemaking.
