Sustainability has been part of Luigi Bosca’s philosophy since its origin, over 120 years ago. Thanks to its ability to adapt to the different terroirs across the world, Cabernet Sauvignon produces very different wines that are distinguished by their character, quality and peculiarity. As spring is around the corner, rosé wines are back on the table. These wines captivate consumers for their appealing colour, fruity expression and freshness. Known as “the queen of red varieties”, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely consumed and planted vine across the world. The winemaking industry is inseparable from the soil, the climate and geography of the terroir in which the vineyards grow and develop their fruits. Agricultural engineers are a key player in today’s winemaking industry; together with the winemakers, they are the most important figure at wineries. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted and consumed variety for fine wines around the world. Each season transforms the landscape and colours of the vineyards located in Mendoza, but the picture obtained is just a partial expression of everything that actually happens at our estates during winter The character of a wine, i.e. what makes it peculiar and different from others, is closely linked to its terroir of origin. Situated in a unique natural setting, at the foot of the Andes Mountain Range, Finca Los Nobles spreads across 50 hectares, blending perfectly into the landscape and respecting the original slopes of the terroir. Historically, the prestige of great European wines has been the result of the place where grapes grow and are harvested, the exact location where art and science converge to give rise to a beverage unique in the world. Malbec is Argentina’s emblem variety, the most extensively planted throughout the national territory, and the one that best adjusted to the different wine-producing regions across the country, where it gifts us with excellent beverages in every terroir. Verticality and horizontality are relatively new concepts used to describe and interpret the wine that have become gradually established among wine lovers in the past few years. The time has come for harvest in our estates of Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. At the moment of tasting a wine, the serving temperature is as important as drinking it on the proper glass or pairing it with a suitable dish. The time has come for all Argentine wineries’ most longed-for event: the harvest, the great completion of the vine’s annual cycle and the conclusion of the work performed for a whole year at the estates. During the past years, white wines have gained path in the Argentinian gondolas and tables. Meat and wine form the great Argentinian match. Although historically this combination has been associated only with the red wines full of body, structure and marked tannins Alberto Arizu’s life has been taking place mostly among vineyards. One of his first memories dates back to Finca El Paraíso, located at the Department of Maipu, where most of the greatest and most significant moments of his life have occurred. At first glance, still wines are only distinguished by its color: red, white or rosé. Travelling the routes and roads of wine is always the best trip plan for red and white wine lovers. At Luigi Bosca’s estates, the most important time of the year is coming: the vintage, representing the conclusion of the work performed for 12 months and the end of the vine’s annual cycle. Since the beginning of the production cycle up to the start of the harvest, the vine goes through different phonological stages that mark the vineyards’ different evolving phases. Every 4th of December, the whole world celebrates Cabernet Franc Day, one of the world’s most planted varieties, whose wines gained ground in Argentina in recent times. However, this subjective pleasure also involves an unquestionable characteristic that helps individuals assess and rate a wine, regardless their personal taste: quality. With fresh, local, seasonal, and even regional products at the forefront, the aim is to enjoy a more culinary, and also healthier, experience. Thanks to their freshness and versatility, sparklings are becoming an increasingly popular choice to pair meals throughout the year. In winter, key work is carried out on the farm: pruning, which allows the healthy growth of plants. Engineer Alberto Arizu (Sir) always repeats this phrase: “the wine is born at the estate”. What is more, in the case of those great wines that embody the spirit of a winery, the hand of the winemaker is reflected, faithfully expressing their terroir. Great blends are those which embody the style of a winery, the hand of the winemaker and the identity of the terroir; a wine capable of expressing many things. That’s what brunch is about. It’s an Anglo-Saxon habit imposed by weekend lazybones, that is to say, those who got up too late for breakfast and, at the same time, too early for lunch. When wine is served by the glass, food is offered in the shape of a snack board. That’s the formula in most food options in wine bars. Although years ago their figure was not so visible for wine lovers, the boom of the concept of terroir and terroir wines helped their work to be in the public eye, both in the wine cellars and for consumers. In the last edition of ProWein, the most important international wine and spirits fair at the moment, low-alcohol brands were established as a trend. Enjoyment is, above all, a subjective experience, so there is neither a single wine perfect to accompany each meal or consumption situation nor merely “winter wines”. Those who have a green outdoors area invite their customers to wake up their senses with a delightful experience: our eyes get lost in the landscape, while our ears catch the birds’ chirping and the sun provides us with an energy boost. As in the case of all fruit plants, the vine goes through annual cycles that not only depend of its physiology, but also of the environmental impact on it and the agricultural works conducted in function of the vineyard’s needs. Even though everyone is aware of the importance of this variety, below are 10 essential facts to truly understand the Cabernet Sauvignon and its predominance As is the case of all field activities, the working pace at the estates is characterised by the vine’s phenological states, as these are the factors that define which agronomic activities will be conducted in every instance. Generally speaking, great white blends stand out for their elegance, fineness, expressiveness, and fruity character. News
