Paolo Bea 'Pagliaro' Montefalco Sagrantino

Paolo Bea is one of Italy's most revered traditional producers, a benchmark estate for those who value wines of place, character, and authenticity. Based in Montefalco, the Bea family farms organically and works with native yeasts, long macerations, and minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing their wines to speak clearly of Umbria's rugged hillsides and ancient winemaking traditions. Pagliaro is 100% Sagrantino, sourced from the estate's historic Pagliaro vineyard in Montefalco. Powerful yet remarkably nuanced, it delivers profound aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry, plum, licorice, tobacco, dried flowers, balsam, earth, and exotic spice, all supported by massive structure, vibrant acidity, and incredibly long aging potential. Despite its intensity, Pagliaro maintains a sense of balance and energy that places it among the greatest expressions of Sagrantino.
