| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Orange Wine. "natural Wine". Trebbiano Spoletino. "Giampiero acquired a parcel of 80-year-old Trebbiano Spoletino in the town of Pigge di Trevi several years back, and thus with this 2014 we have an exciting new addition to the Bea lineup. Arising from a cooler microclimate than the Arboreus above, Lapideus spent a lengthy 35 days on it skins after pressing, followed by 210 additional days on the gross leesa similar vinification to Arboreus, yet one that yielded entirely different results. Though no less deeply amber in its appearance, Lapideus has a leaner, racier carriage than the broad-shouldered Arboreus, with more filigree, a less overwhelmingly intense nose of apricots, cloves, and candied ginger. If Arboreus is a sea to swim in, Lapideus is a rocket to ride, emphasizing drive and lift over layered density. It is still a wine of impressive power, especially given its modest 11-12% alcohol, but the fruit is more direct, pure, and foregrounded." - Rosenthal Wine Merchant |
