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. Vintage: 2020 Country: Italy Region: Umbria Appellation: IGT Umbria Bianco Grape: Grechetto, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Garganega Farming: Certified Organic/Practicing Biodynamic Drink: Now-2030

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The The 2020 Santa Chiara appears a deep orange color with notes of marmalade, apricot, flowers, and varnish (VA). The palate shows low+ tannin and decent acid. Tasty, complex stuff as usual. A lovely pairing with gougère of prosciutto, green olive and honey. Drink now through 2030-ish. Bottle No. 2814/5940

Calibrate your palate before tasting. More versatile than Beas other bucce but requires some thought and patience.
