PerSe is a personal project from Edgardo (Edy) del Popolo and David Bonomi. The pair met in 1995, while working together at a local winery and are now considered trailblazers on the Argentine wine scene.
David is one of the most knowledgeable oenologists in the Uco Valley, with on-the-ground experience from Altamira in the south to Gualtallary in the north. Edy was practically born under a grapevine: his parents owned vineyards in north Mendoza, he went on to study oenology and agronomy, and when the winery he was working at was sold to the Santa Rita Estates. Gualtallary is a high-altitude zone in the department of Tupungato in the Uco Valley.
David and Edy work with small plots of just 0.2-0.5 hectares, situated at around 1,300 meters. Due to the altitude average day and nighttime temperatures are 3-6 degrees lower than in the city of Mendoza, they choose their sites carefully as only certain plots can produce grapes that reach the quality they are aiming for.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2034
What the critics say:
"The 2019 Volare del Camino felt very precise and harmonious from the first time I put my nose in the glass. It's serious and austere and has gained in austerity and seriousness, and 2019 could be the finest to date. It has violets and chalk dust, developing a note of rockrose, very clean with more red fruit, and it has light and an aerial sensation of lightness and energy. It has contained ripeness, 14% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity, with fine tannins—finer than those from the Inseparable from the same vintage. 1,428 bottles were filled in November 2020. It comes from a 0.5-hectare plot that was planted by the monks at the bottom of the hill that has the Iubileus and Per Se vineyards, the last of the hills from the Lomas del Jaboncillo in Gualtallary, the rocky and eastern more part of the Monastrerio subdivision of Gualtallary."
