Paolo Bea Rosso de Veo 2019
Dark and brooding, with dried black cherry, rubbed sage, licorice and a pulse of autumnal spice. Ripe blue fruit sits at the core, driven by zesty acidity and a saline mineral thread that saturates the mid-palate. The tannins are firm and substantial but carry a soft, rounded contour that keeps things from feeling severe. Tart cranberry and licorice linger well past the finish. Labeled Umbria Rosso, the Veo occupies its own satisfying niche in the Paolo Bea lineup, structured and concentrated enough to stand alongside a Montefalco Sagrantino, yet offering strong value for devotees of the estate.
