Edgardo "Edy" Del Popolo is the Viticulturist and Co-Founder of PerSe and the Viticulturist at Susana Balbo Wines in Mendoza, Argentina.
Edy recalls spending time with his grand uncles in Mendoza vineyards as a child in the 1970s. He shares specifics of both of the people and the vineyards of the time, painting a picture of hard work, tough conditions and high trellised vines. He refers to the plentiful plantings of Malbec, which then declined significantly in the 1980s as vines were pulled out following a decline in red wine consumption. Edy then references the resurgence of Malbec in the late 1990s, following new national government policies which encouraged foreign investment.
