Paolo Bea's Arboreus channels the uncompromising philosophy that has made him Umbria's most venerated natural winemaker: no added yeast, no sulfur, no filtration. Three weeks of skin contact extract profound texture and minerality from the Trebbiano Spoletino grape, while two years in tank allow the wine to find perfect balance. The 2017 shows golden hues and evolved aromas of quince, apricots, and elderflowers—a broad-shouldered expression with striking complexity, made by a producer whose devotion to hands-off winemaking endures despite his exponential rise in fame.

More about Paolo Bea

Montefalco's old-school radical. Paolo comes from a lineage reaching back 500 years; today he practices unrelenting non-interventionism—no additions except sulfur, no fining, no filtering, stainless steel and large Slovenian oak. His Sagrantino di Montalcino (both dry and passito versions) tastes like iron, cinnamon, and the earth of Umbria. A winemaker who won't compromise.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

“Arboreus” is made from a Trebbiano clone known as Trebbiano Spoletino which is trained so that the fruit hangs high above the ground. The vineyards are planted in the low hills between Trevi and Montefalco at an elevation of 650 to 700 feet with a range of parcels facing both to the east and to the southwest. The soil is essentially clay and gravel. Harvest generally occurs during the first two weeks of October. The wine is left in contact with the skins for up to three weeks or more and is then aged in stainless steel tanks for at least two years prior to bottling. Sulfur is never added.
