Make Mine A Malbec

Summertime grilling means one thing to us. Juicy burgers! And what goes better with a burger than Malbec?

With deep historical roots in Argentina's Mendoza wine region, Bodega Luigi Bosca has a longstanding commitment to innovation and quality. Founded in 1901 by Don Leoncio Arizu, Bodega Luigi Bosca is the country's oldest family-owned winery. Today, Alberto Jr. and Alberto Sr., who represent the third and fourth generations of the Arizu family, jointly manage this venerable enterprise.

Grapes are hand harvested and meticulously sorted and destemmed upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation occurs at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks followed by 12 months aging in new and second use French oak. The wine is lightly filtered prior to bottling.

Deep ruby red color, with aromas of ripe red fruit, spices and black pepper. The palate intensity is complemented by the softness and sweetness of tannins. Full-bodied and well structured. Pair with grilled or broiled red meat, venison and hard cheeses.

"Good red-ruby. Cassis, blackberry, licorice, herbs and sexy nutty oak on the cool, high-toned nose. Sweet and creamy in the middle palate, showing a slightly tart green quality and good mineral energy. Bright and light on its feet, finishing with dry-edged, dusty tannins." (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous)
