Tasting notes

A hazy medium garnet wine with aromas of bright cherry fruit mixed with dark earth and hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate, rich powdery tannins wrap around a core of black cherry and bing cherry fruit with citrusy acidity. Notes of thyme and lavender linger in the long finish along with citrus peel brightness.

Paolo Bea is a producer in Montefalco, Umbria, with the Bea family documented in the locality as early as 1500. Rosso de Veo is a selection of the estate's younger Sagrantino vines, principally from the Cerrete vineyard at the highest point in Montefalco, between 1300 and 1500 feet above sea level. The soil is clay and limestone infused with small pebbles from an ancient riverbed. The wine is vinified with a long cuvaison of forty to fifty days, then aged one year in stainless steel tanks, two years in large oak barrels and another year in bottle before release.

Sagrantino from Montefalco pairs with the strong regional flavors of tartufo, porchetta and the cured meats of Norcia. It suits red meats and stews. Critic food pairings list beef and venison.

Producer profile

Paolo Bea

References in the archives of Montefalco document the presence of the Bea family in the locality as early as 1500. Azienda Agricola Paolo Bea is a classic Italian fattoria, producing wine, raising farm animals for trade and home consumption, and working the land to produce olives, fruits and vegetables. Paolo Bea is assisted by his two sons, Giuseppe, who farms the vineyards, and Giampiero, who assists in the vinification and is responsible for the commercial aspects of the winery.

The vineyards are cultivated organically and all grapes are harvested manually. The property encompasses 15 hectares, with 5 dedicated to vineyards, 2 to olives, and the remainder to fruits, vegetables and grains. Sagrantino is the predominant grape, covering 60 percent of the vineyard surface, with the rest planted to Sangiovese and Montepulciano and a small parcel of white varieties.

Paolo Bea started bottling wine in 1980, continuing the family tradition of natural winemaking without chemical or artificial intervention in the vineyard or winery. All wines are bottled without fining or filtration. Rosso de Veo is vinified in a similar manner to the single vineyard Sagrantino with a long cuvaison, then aged one year in stainless steel tanks, two years in large oak barrels and another year in bottle before release.

Wine region

Umbria, Italy

Umbria is centered upon the Apennine Range in the center of the Italian peninsula and is one of the few completely landlocked regions in Italy. Montefalco is a hilltop village where the Sagrantino grape finds its home.

Sagrantino is a grape unique to Umbria, responsible for Sagrantino di Montefalco and a component of Rosso di Montefalco. The best examples come from the clay, sand and limestone soils around the village of Montefalco. Because Sagrantino grapes have a high level of tannins, law requires Sagrantino di Montefalco to age at least 30 months before release.
