Tasting Notes:
Luigi Bosca Gala 1 is an elegant blend in which the Malbec contributes notes of red fruit like cherries, morello cherries and plums, that are combined with those of other varietals that add spiced and violet hints. Round, smooth and lasting mouthfeel reminiscent of red fruit and vanilla contributed by ageing in oak casks. Additionally, ageing in first use barrels lend great volume and elegance to this wine.
