Hailing from the historic clay-loam soils of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza's premier wine-growing region, the Luigi Bosca Single Vineyard Malbec is a testament to the Arizu family's pioneering spirit. Sourced from select old-vine parcels situated at an elevation of nearly 1,000 meters, this wine showcases the deep-rooted heritage of Argentine Malbec. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a meticulous selection process before aging in French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months. This traditional approach coaxes out a remarkably elegant profile, defined by intense aromas of ripe red fruits, black cherry, and signature violet notes, underpinned by a refined structure and sweet, velvety tannins that have defined the estate's signature style for over a century.

Founded in 1901 by Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is one of Argentina's most historic and prestigious wineries, located in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Still family-owned and managed by the Arizu family, the estate has played a pioneering role in Argentine viticulture, notably helping to establish the country's first D.O.C. (Luján de Cuyo) in 1989. The winery's philosophy centers on showcasing the unique high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza through meticulous vineyard management and precise winemaking. Luigi Bosca is highly celebrated for its elegant, structured red blends and single-vineyard expressions, such as the iconic Finca Los Nobles Cabernet Bouchet and Gala 1 Malbec, alongside expressive whites like the Gala 3 Viognier and Linda Chardonnay.
