{"product_id":"pagliaro-sagrantino-montefalco-paolo-bea-natural-wine","title":"Pagliaro Sagrantino 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003ePagliaro is Paolo Bea's single-vineyard Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG, drawn entirely from the Pagliaro vineyard situated at approximately 400 meters (1,300 feet) above sea level in Montefalco, Umbria. The wine is 100% Sagrantino, a thick-skinned indigenous variety known for producing wines with some of the highest tannin and polyphenol concentrations of any red grape in the world. Annual production ranges from 15,000 to 20,000 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest takes place in the second half of October, when Sagrantino's late-ripening skins finally reach full maturity. Maceration on the skins extends 40 to 50 days. The wine is then aged one year in stainless steel, two years in large Slavonian oak barrels, and at least one additional year in bottle before release. No fining or filtration is used. A minimal dose of sulfur dioxide is added only at bottling, and the total sulfur level is printed on the handwritten label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 vintage was hot and dry in Umbria, producing wines of substantial ripeness and concentration. Vinous awarded the 2015 Pagliaro 93 points, noting spicy and sweetly scented aromatics with dusty rose, currants, and tobacco on the nose, and silky textures with mineral-tinged red and black fruits on the palate, with fine tannins that build toward the close. The recommended drinking window runs 2024 to 2033, though the wine has the structure to develop for considerably longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all Bea wines, Pagliaro is imported in the United States by Rosenthal Wine Merchant. The handwritten label details production methods and ingredients, consistent with the estate's membership in Vini Veri, the consortium of non-interventionist producers co-founded by Giampiero Bea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paolo Bea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39678032806087,"sku":"PBEAPAGL15C","price":95.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/paolo-bea-pagliaro-montefalco-sagrantino-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186261","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/pagliaro-sagrantino-montefalco-paolo-bea-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
