Winery

Luigi Bosca

Luigi Bosca, Argentina’s first boutique winery, stands as a timeless benchmark of elegance and innovation in Argentine winemaking. Guided by an unwavering pursuit of excellence and an artisanal attention to detail, it creates wines that are both deeply expressive and memorably refined. Embracing the philosophy of “Seize the unexpected,” the brand invites wine lovers to find beauty in surprise. Each bottle embodies sophistication, passion, and over a century of mastery.

The Family & Heritage

Four Generations of Visionary Winemaking

Since 1901, the Arizu family has shaped Argentina’s fine wine scene with passion and vision across four generations. Their legacy includes a pioneering role in establishing the first C.D.O. in the Americas, elevating Luján de Cuyo as a world-class Malbec region. Signature collections like De Sangre, Apuntes, Los Nobles, and The Legacy pay tribute to family tradition, creativity, and the enduring connection between heritage and innovation.

The Vineyards & Terroir

Mendoza’s Grand Terroirs, Elegantly Expressed

Luigi Bosca wines are born in Mendoza’s most celebrated terroirs: Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Luján offers sun-kissed grapes, vibrant fruit, and silky tannins, thanks to its sandy-loam soils and ideal altitude. Uco Valley brings freshness, elegance, and minerality from its rocky, high-altitude vineyards. Each location—whether Vistalba, Gualtallary, or Canota Valley—adds depth and character, creating wines with unmistakable regional identity.

The Winemaker

Mastery in Motion: The Mind Behind the Wines

Pablo Cúneo, named “Winemaker of the Year 2025” by Descorchados, leads Luigi Bosca’s wine creation with passion and precision. Born in Mendoza and inspired by nature, Pablo brings deep agricultural roots and global expertise—from France to Argentina’s top wineries. Since 2017, he has infused Luigi Bosca with fresh energy, shaping the entire collection. His artistry lies in crafting expressive wines that reflect the soul of each vineyard.

The Collection

Curated Expressions of Excellence

Each Luigi Bosca wine is a singular expression of place, heritage, and artistry. The portfolio includes bold and expressive lines like De Sangre, the thoughtful precision of Apuntes, and the graceful complexity of Los Nobles. At its pinnacle, The Legacy Collection embodies the winery’s highest ideals—wines of depth, elegance, and enduring character, crafted to honour the land, the lineage, and the visionary spirit of the Arizu family.

Region

Mendoza, Argentina

At the foot of the Andes, Mendoza is Argentina’s leading wine region, producing over 70% of the country’s wine. Its high-altitude vineyards, sunny climate, and cool nights create ideal conditions for bold, balanced wines. Mendoza is famed for Malbec—rich, smooth, and deeply colored—but also excels in Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Syrah, and crisp whites like Chardonnay and Torrontés. From the Uco Valley to Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza blends tradition, innovation, and striking terroir in every glass.
