2018 Paolo Bea "Vigneto Pipparello" Montefalco Rosso Riserva

The Bea family has been in Montefalco, Umbria since 1500. Their wine making style goes back as far as their traditions, healthy farming and low-intervention cellar work has made him a pillar in the Italian natural wine community. Bucking the trend of the modern over oaked styles of the 1980's and 90's, Bea's wines show place and time in a bottle, expressive, meditative and complex. 

This is iconically Italian, sour cherries and balsamic. 60% Sangiovese, 25% Montepulciano and 15% Sagrantino produced a medium plus bodied wine with complexity and texture that would be a wonderful pairing for pappardelle with lamb ragu.
