Luigi Bosca De Sangre Malbec is a DOC Luján de Cuyo red from Mendoza, Argentina, made by the Arizu family, winemakers since 1901, at 14.4% ABV.
It is deep purple, with violets, fresh plum, balsamic notes, white pepper, black tea and a touch of oak.
The palate is fleshy, with dark fruit, blueberry and roasted herbs.
A rich, classic Argentine Malbec for grilled meats and gatherings.
Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
