Rosso de Veo is Paolo Bea’s most expressive and powerful take on Sagrantino, the thick-skinned, tannic grape native to Montefalco in Umbria. While Bea is best known for his flagship “Pagliaro,” Rosso de Veo is a declassified cuvée, made from the younger vines on the estate—though “young” here can still mean 15–25 years old.

The 2019 vintage is made in Bea’s signature way: organic farming, extremely low intervention, spontaneous fermentation, no fining or filtration, and long aging in large Slavonian oak casks. It’s 100% Sagrantino, and it’s bold, earthy, and rustic—but never out of control.

The wine shows dense blackberry and plum, loads of dried herbs, and a deep, leathery core. The tannins are huge, as expected, but wrapped in texture and freshness that keep it drinkable even now (with air). That said, it will age beautifully for 10–15+ years.

If you like structured reds with real soul—think old-school Barolo or Cornas—this is one of Umbria’s most compelling bottles.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2019 Rosso de Veo is intense, with a burst of dried black cherries, autumnal spices and rubbed sage. This is a dark and brooding vintage for Veo, with depths of ripe red and blue fruit propelled by zesty acidity. Saline minerals saturate, and a primary concentration forms toward the close. It finishes dramatically long and tannic, yet they are round and soft contoured. Licorice and a tart cranberry concentration linger on and on. While labeled as Umbria Rosso, the Rosso de Veo could easily be a Montefalco Sagrantino, filling a happy place in the portfolio that adds a lot of value for lovers of Paolo Bea." -Eric Guido

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

“Rosso de Véo” is a selection of the Bea estate’s younger Sagrantino vines, principally from the Cerrete vineyard which graces the highest point in Montefalco, between 1300 and 1500 feet above sea level. The soil is clay and limestone infused with small pebbles from an ancient riverbed. This wine is vinified in a similar fashion to the single vineyard Sagrantino with a long cuvaison which extends forty to fifty days. The wine is then aged one year in stainless steel tanks, two years in large oak barrels and another year in bottle before release. The wine is not filtered. Production varies depending on vintage … 9000 bottles were produced in 2005, the first year this exclusively Sagrantino-based cuvée was created.
