Luigi Bosca Gala 4 2016
Las Compuertas, Vistalba District, Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFive percent malbec is added to this franc, destemmed and with a 5 to 7-day cold soak. Post ferment the franc is aged in new oak barrels for 14 months. Winemaker Pablo Cúneo is excited about the potential of cabernet franc in Argentina. This wine is a blend of Luján de Cuyo vineyards, over 90 years old, grown on sandy loam over stones at 1100 metres. It was a very cool year yielding delicate aromatics, intense juicy red fruits and bright acidity. Dry aged beef with rocket and parmesan sounds perfect to me.Tasted: 22 December 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:AB | $34.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
