Tasting note
The high altitude region of Gualtallary is recognized for its calcareous alluvial soils. As a result, BenMarco Expresivo is a linear, fresh wine, with aromas of blackberries, pepper tree and violets. It stands out for its mineral notes, balanced natural acidity and firm tannins. Great ageing potential.
In the press
95/100 - A ripe, brooding nose with a subtle peppery lift from its deep core of black fruit. Plenty of fine, dusty tannins charged with fresh acidity and rich, concentrated fruit on the full-bodied palate. Long, flavorful but fresh in finish. Malbec and cabernet franc. Fermented in foudres and aged in barrels, both new and old. Drink now or hold.
