Paolo Bea always produces such tiny quantities of wines, and holds vintage back - or doesn't make them at all some years [as was this case for this wine].
+ GRAPE: 100% Sagrantino. Vinified 'secco' [dry].
+ DECANT: Recommended.
VIA THE IMPORTER
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. Always unfiltered, with minimal use of s02.
