For over four decades, Giampiero Bea has been making some of Italy's most uncompromising, singular wines at Azienda Agricola Paolo Bea, the estate named for his father. The Bea family has been documented in Montefalco since 1500, crafting boisterous, wild expressions of Umbria's sun-drenched hills. As a co-founder of the ViniVeri ("Real Wine") movement, Giampiero refuses shortcuts: no green harvesting, no sorting, no temperature regulation, no pumping, no fining, no filtering. Just patience and trust in time over technology.
- WINEMAKER: Giampiero Bea
- FARMING: Organic
- VARIETY: 100% Sagrantino
- TERROIR: Rosso de Veo ("Veo" is the way the family's name is pronounced in old Umbrian dialect) is sourced from younger Sagrantino vines around the property and from parcels that don't quite make Giampiero's rigorous cut for Pagliaro, Pipparello, and Cerrete. The 2019 vintage brought a warm, dry summer balanced by diurnal temperature shifts.
- VINIFICATION: 45-day maceration on skins with native yeasts. 14% alcohol. No temperature control, no pumping, no fining, no filtering.
- AGING: 12 months in stainless-steel tanks followed by 24 months in large, Slavonian oak botti. Unfined, unfiltered, no added sulfur with 40-55mg/l total sulfur.
- TASTING NOTES: Potent and brooding, this sun-marked wine makes no concessions to polite society. While significant in its tannins, it presents them in such a multifaceted way as to transcend their viselike grip. Offers classic sandalwood spice, mineral-saturated depth-charge stoniness, and a vivacious mouthfeel like crunching into dripping-ripe berries.
