Description
With deep historical roots in Argentina’s Mendoza wine region, Bodega Luigi Bosca has a longstanding commitment to innovation and quality. Founded in 1901 by Don Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is the country’s oldest family-owned winery. Today third & fourth generation of the Arizu family, Alberto Junior and Alberto Senior both run this fine wine business.
With wide temperature swings between cold nights and hot days, the Arizu family have come to appreciate that Mendoza’s desert climate and terroir offer unique benefits to the wines they produce: it amplifies the aromatics and colour and keeps the acidity balanced, while the alluvial deposits in the soil provide minerality and depth.
Pioneers in Mendoza’s winemaking history, the Arizu family collaborated actively to create the Lujan de Cuyo Denomination of Origin (DO) appellation in 1988. Under its DO regulations, the appellation adheres to strict aging and viticultural rules. The Arizu family did not stop there in their quest for improving quality of Mendoza’s wines, Bodega Luigi Bosca has embraced bio-dynamics and biodiversity in the vineyard. The Arizu family believes that biodiversity in each vineyard’s ecosystem further enriches a harvest’s full potential by adding other plants such as olive and chestnut trees that complement and coexist with the vines during each growing season.
100% Estate grown Malbec from vineyards Maipú and Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza from low yielding 30 year old vines, grown at 960 m altitude. 2021 was another classic growing season (rather than the usual heat of Lujan sub region) which produced ripe, high quality, balanced fruit with beautiful acidity. Handpicked fruit, some whole bunch fermentation for fragrance, maturation in French and American oak. Smart Malbec with density of black and blue fruits firm tannins and balance.
