The unique terroir of Los Miradores imparts a distinct character to the wine, reflecting the vineyard's specific soil composition, elevation, and microclimatic conditions. The winemaking process is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, from careful vine management and selective hand harvesting to controlled fermentation and aging in French oak barrels.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Luigi Bosca Terroir Los Miradores Malbec dazzles with its deep, vibrant purple hue and an intoxicating aroma of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, elegantly interlaced with floral notes of violets and a hint of mocha.On the palate, this wine unfolds layers of lush fruit flavors, enriched by undertones of chocolate, leather, and spice, derived from its aging in oak. The texture is voluptuous, with a full body and robust tannins that are beautifully integrated, leading to a long, opulent finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Luigi Bosca
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
