Paolo Bea is the uncompromisingly old-school Umbrian estate that helped found Italy's natural wine movement, and Pagliaro is the single vineyard that produces their finest Sagrantino di Montefalco. Made with long macerations, indigenous yeasts and extended aging, this is Sagrantino at its most serious: a thick-skinned, deeply structured grape that demands patience. The 2004 has had two decades to soften its famously formidable tannins and is now in a mature, complex place, though a wine like this can keep evolving. Decant generously and give it air; this is a wine for contemplation.

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 has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Wild boar stew, braised lamb, roast game birds, or aged pecorino and aged sheep's cheeses.

Tasting Profile

A mature, powerful Sagrantino. Dark dried-fruit, leather, tobacco, dried herbs and earthy depth from two decades in bottle. Full-bodied with the grape's signature firm tannins now softened, balanced acidity and a long, brooding finish.
