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.
The fruit is 100% Uco Valley, Vista Flores to be precise, and the wine is made by the amazing talent of Edy del Popolo, now General Manager at Susana Balbo Wines and a very famous oenologist / winemaker in his own right.
“BenMarco Malbec is a testament to Uco Valley where it hails from, proffering a bouquet of fresh black fruit, floral notes of violets with bright acidity, firm tannins and great lenght.” – EDY DEL PÓPOLO

First vintage produced in 2009.
The Berton Vineyard Metal Range takes stand alone varietals to make something exceptional, forging an enviable reputation for huge unrestrained flavours that are exemplified by this wine, a bold example of Australian Shiraz.
The Stehelin family comes from a line of five generations of winegrowers. Nicole and Frédéric have been running the Domaine de Paillère and Pied-Gû since 1978.
Bertrand, their eldest son, has been working with them since 2001 and has developed, in parallel, his own brand “Bertrand Stehelin”.
Both estates are located on the Gigondas lands in the Rhone Valley.
Due to its geographical location, Gigondas benefits from a Mediterranean climate that makes it unique and an exceptional asset. The vines of Bertrand Stehelin are cultivated on an excellent soil mainly exposed north-west. Drastic climatic and geological conditions, rugged geography favor the development of very red and tannic wines; typical wines of Cru Gigondas.

Binomio means two names: Stefano Inama (Inama Azienda Agricola) and Sabatino di Properzio (Fattoria La Valentina), who first met at Prowein in Dusseldorf in 1997, developed a friendship, along with the idea of producing a great Montepulciano d’Abruzzo together, which was both sumptuous and modern. The project certainly arose from the common passion of the two producers for this particular terroir: Abruzzo is “strong but gentle”: an extremely charming region, but rarely visited.
The name Cerasuolo derives from cerasa (or cirasce, in Abruzzese dialect), which means cherry. The attribution of this name was chosen by virtue of the color, “cherry red”, that this wine, made from Montepulciano grapes, has always had in the tradition.
Thanks to its characteristics it can be considered as a reserve; Binomio Cerasuolo Superiore is a complex rosé, inspired by the great Bandol, powerful but fresh, able to age and evolve in the bottle for years. It combines the characteristics of sorbility and pleasantness of a rosé, with those of length, creaminess and contentment.
The Montepulciano variety cultivated in the Abruzzi clearly has a Greek/Balkan origin, due to its complex morphological characteristics and its energy. It became widespread in the very distant past, perhaps even in pre-Roman times, when it made its home in the Peligna Valley between the villages of Raiano and Sulmona, which, as history would have us believe, was colonized by Paeligni people coming from Asia Minor or Illyria in approximately the 12th century BC.

‘Bruno Broglia’ represents the best production of La Meirana estate.
The name ‘Bruno Broglia’ is in honour of the founder of the agricultural company, the wine is acknowledged as a reference point for white wine production, obtained from the grapes of older vineyards planted in the years between 1953 and 1955, and every year it receives both National and International recognition.
In addition, it was chosen as the only white wine to be served to the world’s greatest leaders, at the G20 gala dinner in St. Petersbourg on September 5th 2013.
This wine is produced from the estate’s youngest vineyards and, characterized by its particular acidity, freshness and drinkability. Its name is reminiscent of a bond between this ancient land and the Doges of the Genovese Republic. In particular it is served as an appetiser, at a temperature of 8°C, and to accompany a range of Mediterranean dishes and white meats. A delicate and elegant wine with a floral and fruity fragrance.
This is the most representative and classical wine of Broglia production and for this reason it carries on its label the name of the Estate: La Meirana.
Organic analysis indicates that La Meirana expresses exceptional characteristics of the area of Gavi with a typical aftertaste of almonds, an aromatic Cortese easy to drink and easy to match with various typologies of food.
Since 1931, five generations of the Brotte family of Maison BROTTE at Châteauneuf-du-Pape have crafted with passion refined wines, distinctively smooth, elegantly fruity and spicy.
“Baies Dorées” (golden berries) : a tribute to the Viognier grape variety. Originating from wild Rhône vines, Viognier berries, planted on beautiful clay-silt soils with excellent sunshine exposition, display an amber / golden colour when reaching optimal maturity.
