WINE DESCRIPTION

Paolo Bea Pipparello Montefalco Rosso Riserva is a premium red wine produced by Paolo Bea, a renowned winemaker in the Montefalco appellation of Umbria, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Sagrantino grapes, grown in the vineyards surrounding the winery. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level, with clay and limestone soils that impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a natural fermentation process, followed by aging in oak barrels for 36 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, complex, and elegant wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect representation of the Montefalco appellation and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
