Paolo Bea Santa Chiara Umbria Bianco Malvasia Blend 2020

A white wine produced from Grechetto, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Garganega, in approximately equal proportions.  juicy and ripe, with beguiling aromas that lean toward the floral and spicy (as opposed to the more somber and earth-driven aromatics of “Arboreus”). It displays a bold tannic presence, but the palate is more delineated and perkier than that of the “Arboreus,” with vivid, crunchy pit fruits and lurking mineral heft. Like Bea’s peerless red wines, “Santa Chiara” is a wine of opposing forces, both exuberant and firm, both challenging and deeply delicious.
