Paolo Bea Bianco Santa Chiara 2019
White
Montefalco Sagrantino, Italy

WineSaint
Burnished gold with amber hints, this old-vine blend delivers crushed herbs, wet stone and candied orange peel on the nose. The palate shows remarkable tension. Rich yet razor-sharp, with bracing acidity that cuts through layers of honeyed fruit and saline minerality. Twenty-five days of skin contact creates textural depth without losing freshness. A benchmark white from this exceptional producer.
