“Like the best sites in the world, BenMarco Expresivo captures the essence of the best from the Valle de Uco terroir”. ~ Edy Del Pópolo, BenMarco viticulturist

The unique characteristics of this terroir allow us to obtain this blend, full of character, which reveals the utmost expression of the place where the grapes are grown.
