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 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.

Born in Mendoza and inspired by nature, he brings deep agricultural roots and global expertise, from France to Argentina’s top wineries. Since 2017, Pablo 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.
