WINE DESCRIPTION
Luca Beso de Dante is a premium wine produced by Luca Winery, a renowned winery in Argentina. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Uco Valley, a high-altitude region known for its ideal vineyard conditions. The vineyard features well-draining soils and a cool climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in oak barrels and aging for several months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied red with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. Its smooth tannins and long finish make it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes.

This Luca Beso de Dante is a bold and complex red blend from Mendoza, Argentina.Aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums mingle with hints of cedar, tobacco, and earth. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is robust and juicy, with a ripe, spicy finish. Enjoy with grilled meats, hard cheeses, and hearty stews.

ORIGINS
Winery: Luca
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
