ABOUT THIS WINE
De Sangre (meaning 'Of Blood') represents an intimate family tradition of Bodega Luigi Bosca and the Arizu family. For over a century, the family practiced a private ritual of choosing their most outstanding, character-rich barrels, marking them with white chalk, and reserving them exclusively for sharing with loved ones. This flagship Malbec D.O.C. is sourced from select plots of old vines in Las Compuertas, Vistalba, and Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested in small boxes, followed by a strict double selection process of clusters and berries. The fruit undergoes a cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 to 7 days at 8°C to 10°C. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, where it completes malolactic fermentation, followed by at least 6 months of bottle aging before release.
