✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Finca Los Nobles estate in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, this exceptional red blend is born from some of Mendoza's oldest vineyards, planted at the dawn of the 20th century. Situated at an altitude of over 1,050 meters, the ancient vines of Malbec and Petit Verdot grow side-by-side as a traditional field blend. Co-fermented in the classic style, the grapes benefit from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and the mineral-rich alluvial soils irrigated by pure Andean snowmelt. This meticulous process yields a wine of profound complexity, marrying the plush, dark fruit and floral elegance of Malbec with the structural power, deep color, and savory spice of Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels, it represents a liquid testament to the Arizu family's multi-generational dedication to preserving Mendoza's viticultural heritage.
🍾 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.
