Grape: Malbec
Vintage: 2021
Type: Red

100% Malbec from the Uco Valley Monasterio Vineyard in Gualtallary, from sandy and calcareous soil. Grapes are hand harvested, and fermented in concrete tanks, 30 day cold maceration, and aged 12 months in French barrel. Purple in color. The enticing primary nose presents crushed plum, cherry, violets and faint lavender undertones. The tea-like palate has a juicy, refreshing, taut flow that delivers alluring fruity and floral flavors before the lengthy finish. The 2021 is an oxymoron in a glass: a delicate, nuanced, but raw, high-altitude wine.

 

Per Se is the Argentine project of Edgardo del Popolo and David Bonomi, two winemakers who focus on tiny high-altitude parcels in the Uco Valley. Their work centers on Gualtallary and other cool, limestone-influenced sites where Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay can show precision rather than sheer ripeness. The production is extremely small, the farming obsessive and the cellar approach quiet, often using concrete and neutral vessels to keep the attention on site. Per Se's wines are among Argentina's most detailed and mineral, speaking in a language of mountain light, calcareous soils, fine tannins and disciplined elegance.
