Paolo Bea Umbria Rosso Vigna San Valentino 2006 750ml

The 2006 vintage produced a dry and harmonic wine. Interestingly, the DOC tasting panel decided Bea’s wine shouldn’t bear the DOC Montefalco wine, stating it was not deep enough in color. As a result, his wine is called “Umbria Rosso” and does not bear the "Montefalco" name. A blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Sagrantino, this Rosso undergoes 40 days of fermentation and maceration before aging for 12 months in stainless steel, 24 months in large oak barrels and another year in bottle before release.

Paolo Bea Bianco Santa Chiara 2008 750ml

Bored of Chardonnay, looking for another white with substance? This is for the adventurous white wine drinker looking for a new experience. While not as radical or extreme as the recent releases of Friuli's Gravner and Radikon, this organic wine does fall into the category of esoteric whites. In fact, if you had the opportunity to experience the Coenubium, you will appreciate this wine immensely. A blend of Grechetto, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, and Garganega. This complex wine has a flaxen color and a bouquet of honey and zesty citrus. Concentrated and earthy on the palate. A thick, full-bodied white with a strong mineral finish.
