Paolo Bea Sagrantino di Montefalco 1999

Dense aromas of blackberry preserves, wet earth and dried herbs show Sagrantino's distinctive character. The 3-liter format has preserved remarkable freshness after two decades. Tannins flow with silky weight across the palate, no longer the monster they once were. Tea leaves, cedar and violet pastille notes emerge on the long, resonant finish. Drinking gorgeously now with potential through 2030.
