2019 Paolo Bea, "Pagliaro" Sagrantino di Montefalco (Vinous 97 Pts.)

We’re extremely excited to offer our allocation of the newly released 2019 Paolo Bea, Sangrantino “Pagliaro” one of the most sought-after trophy wines among restaurant buyers, collectors, and natural wine purists.   Vinous Media gave this bottling its highest rating since the publication began, noting it as spellbinding.  97 Points, Vinous Media: “ … youthfully intense, with a blend of rum-soaked cherries and a cascade of sweet spice, mixing dried violets with cloves, ashen stones and blood orange. This is elegant and refined, with silken textures and admirable weight, all supported by fresh acidity, as masses of ripe blueberry blend with sage and a salty tinge of minerality … Just a baby today, the 2019 is geared for the cellar. This is a spellbinding vintage of Pagliaro.” It ranks among the most age-worthy reds in all of Italy, right alongside the very best Barolos and Brunellos (not to mention French Bordeaux). To put it bluntly, this is a wine you find room for—in your budget and
