Description

The Luigi Bosca De Sangre Cabernet Franc is a testament to the excellence of Argentine winemaking, crafted by the historic Arizu family, who have been pioneers in Mendoza since 1901. This wine is sourced from high-altitude vineyard plots in the Uco Valley, specifically the renowned Altamira and San Pablo areas, where the combination of unique soils and cool mountain climates creates ideal conditions for Cabernet Franc to express its full potential.

Upon opening, the wine greets you with a sophisticated and expressive nose; you will discover vibrant aromas of ripe raspberries and red cherries, nuanced by elegant floral notes of violet, followed by a spicy complexity that defines this label. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, offering a harmonious balance between intense red fruit flavors and a refined, velvety structure provided by its careful aging in oak barrels. The finish is persistent and well-defined, with soft yet firm tannins that speak to its aging potential.

This wine is an exceptional companion for a variety of culinary experiences. Its spicy, fruit-forward profile makes it a perfect match for grilled red meats—a quintessential Argentine pairing—as well as venison, hearty beef stews, or even hard-aged cheeses. Because of its structure and depth, we recommend allowing this wine to breathe for about 30 minutes before serving at 16°C to fully unlock its aromatic complexity. Whether you are building a collection or looking for the perfect bottle for a special dinner, this Cabernet Franc offers a beautiful glimpse into the prestige of Mendoza’s terroir.
