This tiny estate is the classic Italian fattoria, producing wine, raising farm animals for trade and home consumption and working the land to produce olives, fruits and vegetables. To this day, the Bea family raises and produces much of what they consume on a daily basis. Paolo Bea, the senior member of the family, is the guiding force behind the production of this series of intense and idiosyncratic wines. He is assisted by his two sons, Giuseppe, who farms the vineyards, and Giampiero, who assists in the vinification and is responsible for all commercial aspects of the winery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);' data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBBAA\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003eThis sagrantino represents a masterclass in patient, low-intervention vinification from the clay-limestone slopes of Umbria. Sourced from the estate’s flagship vineyard at 1,300 feet elevation, this vintage thrives on Bea’s rigorous non-interventionist principles, undergoing a protracted 40-to-50-day maceration utilizing exclusively native yeasts. True to its artisanal heritage, the wine is aged sequentially for one year in stainless steel, two years in large, neutral Slavonian oak \u003cem data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);' data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" class=\"eujQNb\"\u003ebotti\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, and an additional year in the bottle.

It opens with an brooding bouquet of dark, balsamic-tinged fruits, crushed slate, wild game, and pipe tobacco, which seamlessly transitions into an intensely concentrated, full-bodied core. Sagrantino's notoriously fierce, tightly wound tannins are fully on display here, demanding substantial decanting if approached in its youth, yet providing the precise structural framework needed for decades of evolution. The finish is remarkably long, driven by a dry, savory grip and a deep mineral residue that will captivate connoisseurs seeking a pure, uncompromised expression of central Italian winemaking.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PDX Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45079219339471,"sku":null,"price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/3021\/4607\/files\/IMG_7595_9b7e8438-05d7-4810-9a60-8c6d27db5373.jpg?v=1779502582","url":"https:\/\/florwines.com\/products\/paolo-bea-pagliaro-montefalco-sagranito-secco-2020","provider":"Flor Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
