The history of Luigi Bosca is a prime example of neglect. The wine house experiment in the Argentina region has turned into a huge company offering high-quality wines. Among them, there are also sparkling ones that can argue in quality with Champagne products.
A bit of history
Today, the wine regions are developing in accordance with practical circumstances. In other words, if initially the consumer wanted to buy champagne exclusively from the province of Champagne, then at the moment we are happy to drink wine from other places. Moreover, the main thing is that it has an affordable price and a pleasant taste. This trend has been developing for a very long time. But its practical implementation began from the century before last. Winemakers from various countries began to leave their lands in search of cheap options for creating wineries. One of these pioneers was Leoncio Arisu.
A resident of Navarra, a skilled and ambitious winemaker, was looking for the perfect terroir for the most sought-after grape varieties in Europe. He, as a producer of wine, wanted to get the maximum harvest of high-quality grapes. He could find these conditions in Argentina, in the Mendoza region.
Luigi Bosca is a company originally condemned to success. Leoncio chose 3 vineyards at the foot of the Andes, as well as one in the lowlands. The vineyards of Vistalba, La Puntilla, El Paraso and Carrodilla have a total area of 400 hectares. A short distance from them, a plant was built, which became the first plant of Luigi Bosco.
Wine Approach and Special Terroir
The success story began at the expense of Leoncio's ability to choose a terroir. From the very beginning, he set his sights on growing varieties of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Many varieties were not ready for the climate of Mendoza, as well as for the peculiarities of local soils. Because of this, from the beginning of the work of the vineyards, various experiments have been conducted to find the ideal conditions for growing grapes, its adaptation to the climate. Due to the work of this company, these grape varieties that have not previously left the borders of Europe are grown in Argentina, Canada and Africa. For example, Riesling is Bosco sparkling wine, it was the first that the Spaniards decided to create.
The foothills of the Andes are famous for their special terroir. White and red clay, pebbles, volcanic rocks, a huge amount of sun - all this has become part of the amazing taste of grapes. The Boska House cultivated classic types of grapes and adhered to the traditional wine production rules fanatically, while its products had a unique personality due to the unusual conditions of nature.
