2019 PerSe Volare del Camino Mendoza

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.

“Iubileus’ little brother” is how Edy del Popolo describes this pure Malbec from shallower soils in the lower part of the Per Se vineyards. Reflecting the balance and precision of the vintage, this is floral, pure and chalky with the freshness of the Monasterio sub-region and racy bramble and raspberry fruit. 2023-29
