✨ Technical Specifications
Luigi Bosca's signature Malbec is a definitive expression of Mendoza's high-altitude terroir, crafted from carefully selected vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. The Arizu family, who pioneered the Luján de Cuyo D.O.C., has spent over a century perfecting the expression of this grape. This wine captures the essence of Argentine Malbec, showcasing the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Andes foothills which preserve fresh acidity while allowing the grapes to develop deep color and intense phenolic ripeness. Aged gracefully in French oak barrels, it weaves a rich tapestry of ripe plum, blackberry, and violet notes, underpinned by a subtle spice and structured tannins that reflect the stony, alluvial soils of its origin.
🍾 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.
