✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca Icono represents the ultimate expression of the Arizu family's winemaking legacy in Mendoza. Crafted as the estate's flagship red, this prestigious cuvée is a meticulous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec sourced from select parcels of extremely old, low-yielding vines in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo. Situated at a high altitude where the cool night breezes from the Andes temper the warm, sunny days, these vineyards yield grapes of extraordinary concentration and complexity. The wine undergoes a rigorous selection process, followed by fermentation in small tanks and extensive aging in new French oak casks. The result is a profound, deeply structured wine that pays homage to the pioneering spirit of the estate's founders, seamlessly marrying the power of Cabernet with the plush, velvety fruit of Malbec.
🍾 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.
