From one of the founding fathers of Italy's natural wine movement, an uncompromising old-school red from Montefalco in Umbria. Giampiero Bea co-created Vini Veri alongside figures like Radikon, and the family's wines are made with manual harvests, native yeasts, long slow fermentations and years in large neutral casks, bottled unfined and unfiltered. San Valentino is the estate's Sangiovese-led blend rounded out with local Sagrantino and Montepulciano, grown on clay at around 1,300 feet. The 2007 is now a mature bottle from a private collection, deep into its savory tertiary stage. Decant it and give it air; this is wine with a pulse.

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.
