Their role is often complex and enriches the culinary experience, providing a detailed perspective on the art of tasting.

In recent times, the wine industry has witnessed a remarkable transformation, and much of this evolution is centered on the role of the winemaker.

Autumn tinges Mendoza’s landscapes with a palette of colors going from yellow to ochre, from orange to reddish.

In the framework of World Malbec Day, Alberto Arizu (h), CEO and fourth generation of Bodega Luigi Bosca and former President of Wines of Argentina, makes a historical review of the variety.

In recent times, white wines have experienced a remarkable advance in their presence on the shelves and tables of Argentina.

The art of viticulture is intertwined with the subtleties of climate in dimensions beyond one’s imagination.

As the days progress, we approach the most special time of the year: the grape harvest, marking the end of a challenging twelve-month cycle in vine cultivation.

Among the Argentine culinary traditions, there is one that stands out to such an extent that it has made our cuisine famous around the world: the barbecue, or asado, the excuse that calls all our senses to gather around the fire, with friends and family.

Olive trees and vines dominate the landscape of Finca El Paraíso, our largest and oldest estate, located in Maipú.

Finca El Paraíso turns green to welcome visitors to a close encounter with the world of wine through history, culture and nature.

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.

The winemaking industry is inseparable from the soil, the climate and geography of the terroir in which the vineyards grow and develop their fruits.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks to their freshness and versatility, sparklings are becoming an increasingly popular choice to pair meals throughout the year.

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.

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.

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.
