Paolo Bea Umbria Rosso 'Rosso de Veo' 2009
$120.00 USD
“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 not filtered, aging one year in stainless steel tanks, two years in large oak barrels and another year in bottle before release.
