Giampiero Bea, the winemaker, is son to Paolo Bea. Samples are famously not sent to critics (in fact, there is a warning of this nature on some of the labels), but if you take the time to visit this winery in Montefalco, Giampiero is incredibly generous and thorough when presenting his wines. I tasted the 10 wines you see here, plus two wines under his new line “Giampiero Bea” at the winery last year. Winemaking is strictly non-interventionist. Long skin macerations are employed, fermentations kick off with ambient yeasts and the wines see extended lees aging. His personal motto is “In nature, it is necessary to observe, to listen, to understand, but never to dominate.”
This is one of two single-vineyard expressions at the top of the Paolo Bea portfolio. The Montefalco Sagrantino Pagliaro opens to brooding dark fruit and depth. The wine’s complexity comes forth with blackcurrant, spice, earth, cola and medicinal herb. There is a lot to admire in the bouquet that shifts fluidly with each swirl of the glass. Despite a hefty 15% alcohol content, the wine is surprising supple and smooth. Exactly 14,709 bottles were released.
