✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Finca Los Nobles vineyard in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, this exceptional red is crafted from some of Mendoza's oldest vines, planted at the turn of the 20th century in 1901. This wine is a traditional field blend where Malbec and Petit Verdot are grown, harvested, and co-fermented together, a practice that preserves the authentic, historic synergy of the parcel. The high-altitude terroir, situated at over 1,000 meters above sea level, features sandy-loam soils irrigated by the pure snowmelt of the Andes. This unique setting, combined with meticulous aging in French oak barrels, yields a wine of profound complexity, characterized by intense dark fruit, violet aromas, structured tannins, and a refined, mineral-driven finish that pays homage to the pioneering spirit of the Arizu family.
🍾 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.
