Paolo Bea Rosso de Véo Umbria Rosso Sagrantino 2011

Matt Perlman

Big and burly but light on its feet with a nice acidic lift on the finish—built more like a linebacker than a lineman. (Those of you who actually know football feel free to adjust the metaphor as necessary.) Dark red cherries, dried herbs, smoked meat and spice. Very nice but unfortunately doesn’t deliver much value given the lofty price

Jay Kline

A massive departure from the Tenuta della Terre Nere Rosso that we started the evening with. Loads of dark cherry, brambles, and spiced meat. The aromas were wild. I was also picking up some volatile acidity but it really helped give some lift the massive amount of fruit. On the palate, more dark fruits, spices and dried herbs. Lip smacking finish. Bottle No. 0000213

Sonal Bhatia

A Viking grandpa, greets the palate like a big warrior demanding to be taken seriously. Kind of rough, but you don’t want to argue with him. Then he sits down, gives you a hug, and is sweet in the end. Thank you, Viking Grandpa.

All hail Prince Bea!

There’s nothing quite like Bea’s wines and this was no exception. Bright fruit, animal, herbal, with perfect acidic lift. Tannins present but not overbearing. Great wine that will improve w a bit more time, I think.

David Lincoln

Inky purple with ruby reflection. Sweet aroma: smoky nose of espresso, tobacco, plum, dried fruit, and kirsch liqueur. Some heat on the palate but overall light on its feet with a dusting of tannins.
