PerSe, Volare del Camino 2020
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.
The Critic: 6x Barbera Del Monferrato, Villa Sparina 2021
"Tom Harrow aka the WineChap cuts a distinctive dash with his red velvet suits and manly jawline. His firm Honest Grapes stocks some superb producers and he’s put together a selection of brilliant value Italians to stimulate the tastebuds. In the Case Barbera Del Monferrato, Villa Sparina, 2021, 6x 75cl ...next up we have a Barbera, the second grape of Piedmont which makes more accessible wines than the fabled Nebbiolo of Barolo. This 2021 Barbera Del Monferrato from Villa Sparina is oak-aged which adds spice and tobacco notes to the blackberry juiciness of the grape. It’s almost like an Italian Rioja; ideal for Sunday roasts like lamb or beef. Tom has managed to bring it in at £19.90 a bottle (£119.40 a case)." The Critic Wine Club
