Bodegas Luigi Bosca

Bodegas Luigi Bosca is a wine estate in Mendoza, Argentina. It has vineyards throughout the Mendoza region, planted primarily to Malbec, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, among others.

The winery is located in Luján de Cuyo, but there are vineyards in Maipú and the Uco Valley. All of the vineyards are at high altitude, which is one of Mendoza's most important features – the cooler nighttime temperatures that are characteristic of higher altitude makes viticulture possible in the otherwise sunny, desertous region. As a result, Luigi Bosca's vineyards produce grapes that are richly flavored and varietally expressive, but with a balance of acidity.

All of the vineyards are planted to a range of varieties, save for the Finca los Miradores vineyard which is planted exclusively to Malbec. The oldest vines – which are up to 90 years old – can be found in the sandy, low-yielding soils of the Finca los Nobles vineyard, and produce grapes that are used in the very best wines. Luigi Bosca's vineyards are irrigated with snow melt off the Andes that has been channelled into irrigation canals throughout the vines.

Luigi Bosca makes a range of wines, from entry level to super premium. The flagship wine, Icono, is a Cabernet – Malbec blend and comes from the best plots in the Finca los Nobles vineyard. The varieties are aged seperately in oak before being blended and aged in new French oak barrels for a further 12 months. This wine is bottled without being filtered and has the potential to age for at least 20 years after vintage.
