Paolo Bea "PAGLIARO" Sagrantino Montefalco
| Vintage: | 2017 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Organically Farmed. 100% Sagrantino. Pagliaro is a single-vineyard Sagrantino from this eponymous epic Umbrian vineyard. Paolo Bea is one of the longest standing wineries in the region and is best-known for their traditional and rustic cuves. This wine is dense yet balanced, marked by forceful tannins, persistent length, and a variety of dark and herb-driven flavors. Similarly large in scale to the Rosso de Veo, this actually presents with greater precision and nuance, its overall attack more subtle but ultimately no less impactfuldirect evidence of a great terroir translated with consummate skill. "The fabled local grape of Montefalco is the Sagrantino and the Pagliaro vineyard, situated at 1300 feet in altitude, is dedicated in large part to this grape variety. The harvest of Sagrantino normally occurs during the second half of October. The cuvaison extends for forty to fifty days. The wines is then aged for one year in stainless steel, another two years in large Slavonian oak barrels and, finally, spends one more year in bottle (the wine, like all Bea wines, is unfiltered) before release. No added sulfites. Annual production from the Pagliaro vineyard is 15,000 to 20,000 bottles." - Rosenthal Wine Merchant |
