Luigi Bosca De Sangre Cabernet Sauvignon - Argentina

Info

De Sangre is the name the winery has given to those outstanding wines that are meant to be shared with loved ones, a tradition that has remained uninterrupted for over a century.

Luigi Bosca De Sangre Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep ruby-coloured red wine that stands out for its aromas of excellent varietal typicity. Dominant black fruit and peppery notes are perfectly balanced with toasted hues resulting from its aging in barrels. It is compact, tense, with a very good structure and full-bodied in the palate. The wine flows in the mouth with balanced acidity and fine and ripe tannins. Persistent and elegant finish.

The grapes are manually harvested in 18 to 20-kilogram boxes, followed by the bunch selection and de-stalking processes, and, subsequently, berry selection. The grape juice is cold macerated at a temperature ranging between 8 and 10 °C for five to seven days. After that, it is fermented in small stainless steel tanks, undergoing various extractions, such as plunging and rack and return (délestage). Once fermentation is completed, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, where it goes through malolactic fermentation. After that, the final blend is made, the wine is filtered and bottled, and then stowed in the wine cellar for at least six months before it enters the market.
