THE WINERY

Luigi Bosca is a leading family-owned winery producer of premium wines. Passionate winemakers for generations, the Arizus are recognized for their longstanding commitment to innovation and quality.

VINEYARDS

Age of the vineyard: 90 years. 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.

VINIFICATION

The grapes are hand-picked in boxes from 18 to 20 kilograms.  The must is macerated in cold for 5 to 7 days at a temperature from 10°C to 15°C. Then it is fermented with selected yeast in stainless steel tanks in controlled temperature between 25 ° C and 28 ° C. Followed by malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.

Ageing: Between 18 -2 0 months in  oak barrels for 14 months
