✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca's Malbec Reserva represents the quintessential expression of Mendoza Malbec, crafted from select family-owned vineyards situated at the foothills of the Andes in Luján de Cuyo and Maipú. The Arizu family, pioneering figures in Argentine viticulture, have spent over a century perfecting this signature style. The grapes are harvested from vines averaging over 30 years of age, growing in sandy-loam soils at altitudes of around 900 meters. This elevation provides warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to develop deep color, intense aromatics, and balanced acidity. The wine is traditionally aged in French oak barrels for approximately 12 months, resulting in a harmonious red that beautifully marries ripe plum and cherry fruit notes with subtle hints of vanilla, mocha, and spice.
🍾 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.
