✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca's Grand Pinot Noir represents the Arizu family's dedicated exploration of cool-climate, high-altitude terroirs within Mendoza, particularly in the elevated vineyards of Tupungato, Uco Valley. Cultivated at altitudes exceeding 1,100 meters, where intense solar radiation is balanced by cool mountain breezes and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, this wine showcases a refined and elegant side of Argentine viticulture. The grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels to add complexity without overwhelming the delicate varietal character. This Pinot Noir captures the ethereal, perfumed nature of the grape, combining bright red fruit notes with subtle earthy undertones, reflecting the unique stony soils of its high-altitude home.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1901 by Don Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is a benchmark of Argentine viticultural excellence located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Guided by over a century of family heritage and pioneering spirit, the estate played a pivotal role in the creation of Argentina's first Controlled Denomination of Origin (DOC Luján de Cuyo) in 1989. The winery meticulously cultivates premier high-altitude vineyards across Mendoza's prime terroirs, focusing on sustainable practices and precise micro-terroir vinification. Luigi Bosca is globally celebrated for its elegant, structured Malbecs, exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons, and distinguished single-vineyard bottlings such as the iconic Finca Los Nobles series.
