The Vineyards & Terroir

Mendoza’s Grand Terroirs, Elegantly Expressed

Luigi Bosca wines are crafted from Mendoza’s most renowned terroirs: Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. In Luján, sandy-loam soils and optimal altitude yield sun-ripened grapes with vibrant fruit and silky tannins. The Uco Valley contributes freshness, elegance, and minerality from its rocky, high-altitude vineyards. Each site—Vistalba, Gualtallary, or Canota Valley—adds its own layer of character, shaping wines with a distinctive regional identity.

Luján de Cuyo, in Mendoza, Argentina, is celebrated as the birthplace of the country’s finest Malbec. Recognized as Argentina’s first Controlled Denomination of Origin (DOC), it lies at the foothills of the Andes, with vineyards planted between 900 and 1,100 metres above sea level. The warm, sunny days and cool nights, combined with alluvial soils, produce wines of rich fruit concentration, silky tannins, and remarkable elegance, making Luján de Cuyo a global benchmark for Malbec.

Malbec
Grape Varietal

Grape Varietal

Malbec

Originally from Cahors in southwest France, Malbec has become Argentina’s signature grape, thriving at high altitudes in Mendoza. It produces deeply colored, full-bodied wines with flavors of blackberry, plum, and violet, often complemented by cocoa and spice. Soft, ripe tannins and balanced acidity create a plush, harmonious mouthfeel. Whether in bold Argentine styles or structured French expressions, Malbec offers both approachability and depth, making it a global favorite.
