Paolo Bea San Valentino 2006

WineSaint
Dark cherry and tobacco leaf emerge from this unconventional blend, rejected by DOC yet charming in its restraint. The palate shows evolved, earthy complexity with leather and dried herbs flowing through a medium frame. Oxidative notes add savory depth that feels intentional rather than flawed. Drinking beautifully now through the early 2010s.
