Bea Montefalco Sagrantino Vigneto Pagliaro
We’re not worthy! Paolo Bea’s wines should have been served at the Last Supper. This small estate produces wine, grows olives, fruits, vegetables and raises farm animals. To this day, the Beas produce much of what they consume on a daily basis...no farmer’s market for them. All grapes are harvested manually. Derived from the Italian meaning drink of the gods, the Sagrantino grape explodes with cherry on the nose and gives way to dark chocolate and wet earth on the palate. Drink this now or keep for your tenth anniversary.
