PAOLO BEA SAGRANTINO PAGLIARO MONTEFALCO 2019

The fabled local grape of Montefalco is 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 and organic.  Made as a natural wine.

97 POINTS, Vinous. "Exotic from the first tilt of the glass, the 2019 Montefalco Sagrantino Pagliaro is youthfully intense, with a blend of rum-soaked cherries and a cascade of spice, mixing dried violets with cloves, ashen stones and blood orange. This is elegant and refined, with silken textures and admirable weight, all supported by fresh acidity, as masses of ripe blueberry blend with sage and a salty tinge of minerality. A balsamic twang saturates the palate as the 2019 finishes staining and long with a saturation of primary concentration and a pleasantly bitter tinge that lingers over a bed of fine-grained tannins. This is a spellbinding vintage of Pagliaro."
