This is a golden-hued hymn to harmony from Umbria’s most soulful storyteller.
A Warm Embrace
If Arboreus is Paolo Bea’s wilderness anthem, Santa Chiara is his warmest embrace. It feels like sitting down to dinner in a sunlit stone farmhouse. This is a thoughtful, textural white wine made from a field blend of five grapes, including Garganega, Grechetto, and Malvasia, all grown and fermented together on their skins.
The result is a softly structured wine with notes of baked apple, chamomile tea, and dried orange peel. The texture is rich but never heavy. Santa Chiara is Bea’s quiet masterpiece and a perfect entry point into his world.
How to Enjoy
Serve at cellar temperature with rustic Umbrian comforts like farro with herbs, roasted chicken, or aged pecorino with honey.
