What do the experts say?

“

Raffaele Vecchione: Elegant and with a good sensory predisposition, it displays notes of white peaches, boxwood, wisteria, lime blossom, wild thyme, lemongrass, elderflower and bergamot. Full-bodied, with a really intense and chewy structure and a very long finish that offers progression and tension. A wine that enters with a subtle sensory profile but presses forward showing all the quality and energy of Benedictus. Better enjoyed since 2024.
