PAOLO BEA MONTEFALCO ROSSO RISERVA PIPPARELLO 2019

Wine geeks bow to Paolo Bea and this "true expression" of Montefalco reaches cult status for the most unique blend of Sagrantino, Sangiovese and Montepulciano from the famed Pipparello vineyard site. A majestic and velvety wine of great concentration and sublime texture. A rare treat to savor.

96 POINTS, Vinous. "The 2019 Montefalco Rosso Riserva Pipparello smolders up with a hauntingly dark bouquet of grilled herbs, cloves, flowery undergrowth and dried black cherries. This mixes silken textures with a wonderfully graceful feel, showing vividly pure red berry fruits and a cascade of spices, all offset by a tinge of citrus. This puckers the cheeks with concentration and a coating of fine-grained tannins, finishing structured yet with immaculate balance and poise. Rosy inner florals and sour cherry resonate. The Pipparello is always a standout for me from the Bea portfolio, perfectly blending 60% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 25% Montepulciano."
