Paolo Bea Montefalco Pipparello Ris (Umbria)

Vintage: 2015
Description: The “Pipparello” Riserva 2015 is named for a hilltop vineyard parcel perched at 1,300 feet, in soils of clay and gravel. Vines in the site average about 20 years of age and the harvest is typically carried out in mid-October. Comprised of 60% Sangiovese, 25% Montepulciano, and15% Sagrantino, this is a riserva-level bottling subjected to an long cuvaison (fermentation in contact with the skins/solids) of 40-50 days, which lends the wine its powerful structure. It's a deep garnet-red in the glass, a brooding melding of red and black fruits and loamy earth. Scents of sappy black cherry, cassis, mulberry, leather, dark spice, and turned earth carry over to a taut, medium-plus-bodied palate.
