Paolo Bea has farmed this land in Montefalco since roughly 1500 — today Giampiero and Giuseppe work the vines their father turned to commercial production in 1980, adhering to a standard the family has never seen reason to revise: no pesticides, no additions, no fining or filtration, native yeast only.
The Cerrete vineyard sits among the highest-altitude sites in the appellation, its mineral-rich soils and sharp diurnal swings pushing the fruit to a depth that rewards patience. Forty-five days of maceration and 43 months in large Slovenian oak produce a wine of remarkable structure — one of only 3,933 bottles from the 2019 vintage, which the Sagrantino Commission rated among the best in recent memory.
PAIRINGS :
| Slow-roasted lamb with rosemary | the Umbrian classic; herbal echoes in the wine, tannins cut through the fat |
| Pappardelle al cinghiale | the regional pairing — wild boar braise mirrors the wine’s dark fruit |
| Aged Pecorino Toscano | salt and umami soften the tannins; earthy notes align |
