2018 PerSe Volare del Camino Mendoza

Volare hails from the lower part of Per Se's holdings, where there is less limestone in the soils. With very low yields, it's an intense, deeply coloured Malbec with subtle wood, engaging focus, fine-boned tannins and a fresh, balanced, nuanced finish. 2022-28.

As in 2017, the red 2018 Volare del Camino was produced from two plots in the Gualtallary Monastery, pure Malbec fermented destemmed with indigenous yeasts and matured for 16 months in barrel. This feels like the bigger brother of Inseparable, with a similar profile but a step up in austerity and subtleness, a little more closed and tight but still based on flowers, red fruit and some soil. It has a medium-bodied palate with very fine chalky tannins, a little sharper than those from Inseparable, more textured. This is getting closer to the spirit of Iubileus. This has a very soft extraction. 1,080 bottles were filled unfined and unfiltered in October 2019. In the next vintage, this wine will be put into a Burgundy bottle because they feel the soil from Volare with higher limestone content has a more Burgundian profile.
