2015 Paolo Bea "Cerrete" Montefalco Sagrantino (Umbria, IT) 7R

Hailing from Paolo Bea's highest elevation vineyard (named Cerrete) which sits 450-500 meters above sea level, this incredible wine is a benchmark for both the region and for Sagrantino. The 2015 is a stunning, more opulent and layered, yet maintaining the cru’s signature poise. With a soaring nose of dried herbs, deep red fruits, and a touch of gravel, it displays an incredible integration of its elements on the palate, which is ultra-concentrated yet elegant.
