Description

"The nose is filled with incredible aromatics of dried apricots and peaches, orange peel, tangelo jelly, and sunflower petals. It opens up to give a touch of mango and mixed spice. The palate is lively thanks to the acidity with just a touch of tannin to bring it all in."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Paolo Bea

Paolo Bea are without a doubt one of Italy's leading natural wine producers. They are based in the southern Italian region of Umbria where they make deep, complex reds from the Sagrantino grape varietal. They specialise in wines made from in the Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG - all of which are legendary and well worth seeking out.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Trebbiano

Trebbiano is a white grape varietal that comes from the south of Italy, specifically from Abruzzo. It has been planted here for many hundreds of years, and still till this day Abruzzo is the home to majority of Trebbiano plantings in Italy. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo is the leading DOC region for the grape varietal of the same name.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Umbria

Umbria is one of the most understated regions in all of Italy. It is right in the middle, one of the few regions without a coastline, between Tuscany and Marche. Home to the two famous wine styles: Orvietto and Montefalco Sagrantino. Orvietto is a white wine that is zingy and aromatic thanks to the Grechetto grape, and Montefalco Sagrantino uses Sagrantino grape varietal which produces some of the most tannic red wines in the world.
