Winemaker Notes
A deep purple-red color, Valentin Bianchi's Famiglia Bianchi Malbec has a luscious, intense fruit aroma, with hints of ripe plums, cherries and berries. The flavors mimic the aromas, with a massive, yet soft and silky, mouthfeel, and a lush, long finish. It
is the perfect expression of the highly-praised Malbec grape.
This wine is ideal to serve with a large variety of foods, especially with meat and hard cheeses.

Wine & Spirits
Generous with flavors of roasted chestnuts and sweet spice, this warm, ample malbec has a firm tannic structure, with the balance and grip to match blood sausage.

Wine Spectator
Juicy and racy, with a nice beam of raspberry ganache threaded with spice, fruitcake and melted licorice notes. The long, supple finish has plenty of fruit, but also good bright acidity. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Purple color; spice box, black cherry, and a hint of balsamic; savory, excellent volume and depth.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
