This is a wild-hearted red from the soul of Umbria. A conversation with the land.
The Beating Heart of Umbria
Rustic, raw, and profoundly alive, this is the essence of Umbrian natural wine. The nose is like stepping into a centuries-old cellar: dark cherry and plum soaked in balsamic, dried rose petals, and hints of leather and cured meat. On the palate, it’s an intense and savory blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and the untamed wildness of Sagrantino.
The tannins are unapologetically firm. This wine is made the slow way by a master of traditional, natural winemaking—bottled unfined, unfiltered, and uncompromising. It’s soulful. It’s elemental. It’s Paolo Bea.
How to Enjoy
This wine demands hearty food. Pair with roasted lamb, mushroom stews, or wild boar pasta for a truly authentic experience.
