Winemaker Notes
A deep red color, with vivid purple highlights, Valentin Bianchi’s Famiglia Bianchi Malbec has luscious fruit aromas, with hints of ripe plums and cherries, combined with subtle spicy touches. Aromas of chocolate, roasted coffee, mocha cream and vanilla are also present. The strong fruit flavors come through on the palate, with an intense, persistent and round mouthfeel, showing sweet and ripe tannins and good structure, with the fruit carrying through to the long, lasting finish.
This wine is ideal to serve with a large variety of foods, especially with meat and hard cheeses.

James Suckling
Floral and subtly fruit wine with perfume. Medium to full body, fine and soft tannins and a fruity finish.
-
Wine Spectator
A rich and well-spiced style, with concentrated flavors of dark plum, dark cherry and dried raspberry. This is loaded with chocolate and smoke notes that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2020.

Originally from Italy, Don Valentin Bianchi moved to San Rafael, Mendoza in 1910 and started to build what would become a life-long project: to open a winery and export his wines from Argentina to the world. The dream came true in 1928; with a lot of effort, Bodegas Bianchi came to life. Devoted to making the best wines, he imported strains and readapted them to the climate and regional soils of the region. Thus, little by little a family winery was born with a name that would become a tradition for excellence in wine.
The legacy continued with Enzo Bianchi, his son, and Valentin “Tincho” Bianchi, his grandson –renowned enologists that moved forward with the founder’s work with just as much dedication until their winery was placed among the most prestigious in the country and around the world. For 80 years –and 4 generations – the values of a family who has embedded their name in Argentine winemaking have remained intact.
