PAOLO BEA SAGRANTINO PAGLIARO MONTEFALCO 2017

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. Paolo Bea takes the power and concentration of this varietal to another level. Ultra-traditional in its craftsmanship, the wine is 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. Organic.  Made as a natural wine.
