AR Benmarco Expresivo Mendoza Malbec

BenMarco wines go higher in elevation and work in extreme site never explored before.

Edgardo del Popolo, viticulturist and wine-maker for BenMarco, expresses through these wines the characteristics of the best soils and grapes of Mendoza.

Expresivo is harvested from Gualtallary Terroir, which translates in mineral notes, firm fine grained tannins and great length.

The result is a vertical wine with ultra-fine grained tannins, long after taste and great ageing potential.
