Luigi Bosca Malbec
by Luigi Bosca · Wine · Mendoza, Argentina
Luigi Bosca Malbec is the Malbec from the Colección Insignia of Bodega Luigi Bosca, a house in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, opened in 1901 by Leoncio Arizu and run to this day by the Arizu family. In 1989, the winery was among the founders of Argentina's first Controlled Denomination of Origin, that of Luján de Cuyo.
It is 100% Malbec from estate vineyards in the Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo, between 900 and 1,100 meters, with vines averaging 35 years old. Harvesting is by hand; after cold maceration, the must ferments in stainless steel between 24 and 28 °C and the wine spends 12 months in French oak barrels. The winemaker is Pablo Cúneo, and the house recommends serving it between 16 and 18 °C.
