Perse Iubileus 2016
PerSe is the personal project of Edgardo (Edy) del Popolo and David Bonomi, two pioneers in the Argentine wine industry. The two met in 1995 while working together at a local winery and have since become leading figures in Argentina’s wine scene. David is one of the most knowledgeable oenologists in the Uco Valley, with extensive experience across the region, from Altamira in the south to Gualtallary in the north. Edy, who grew up in Mendoza’s vineyards, studied oenology and agronomy and has worked with some of Argentina’s most renowned estates. Their vineyards are in Gualtallary, a high-altitude region in Tupungato, Uco Valley, where they cultivate small plots of just 0.2-0.5 hectares at around 1,300 meters above sea level. The high altitude creates cooler day and night temperatures, averaging 3-6°C lower than in Mendoza city, which allows only certain plots to produce the exceptional quality of grapes they seek.
Valdicava, Brunello di Montalcino 2019
At our 2019 Anteprima tasting we showed the first bottles to leave the estate of Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino 2019, and it was so popular we had a raft of pre-orders that will devour most of our allocation. We have been waiting patiently since to offer what is a phenomenal pair of releases from one of the region’s finest producers in one of its best ever vintages. Valdicava are firmly in the top echelon of Brunello, with Vincenzo Abruzzese, whose grandfather was one of the original growers, propelling the estate to the stratosphere. Only around 5000 cases are made each year across the portfolio and the dedication to quality is second to none here with Valdicava electing to bottle no Montosoli or Riserva in 2017 or 2018, nor even producing an estate Brunello in 2018! Such an obsession with excellence guarantees that this set of releases is the crème de la crème – well worth the two years wait for a new Valdicava Brunello.
