Paolo Bea Riserva Pipparello Montefalco Rosso Sangiovese Blend 2019

The Pipparello vineyard is a hilltop site in Montefalco at 1300 feet above sea level, where you can find vines 20 years of age and more. This wine is a blend of roughly 60% Sangiovese, 25% Montepulciano and 15% Sagrantino. The cuvaison extends for a period between 40 to 50 days. After the alcoholic fermentation this wine spends a year in stainless steel tanks and then two years in large oak barrels and is released after an additional year of bottle-aging. Such attention given to this bottling guarantees the Pipparello to develop a very brooding character. Its palate is arrestingly dense, yet it carries an incredible amount of energy given its overaall disposition. This is a rough-and-tumble, wholly uncompromising wine without a polite bone in its body, yet it still manages to be erudite and nuanced—an embodiment of the spirit of the Bea style at its most extreme.
