Paolo Bea's Santa Chiara Umbria Bianco is characterized by its intriguingly hazy, golden-orange hue, a result of the skin contact during fermentation.The nose is an intriguing fusion of aromas: ripe orchard fruits, like apricots and peaches, blend with floral notes, hints of honey, and a distinct earthy, herbal quality. On the palate, the wine is rich and textured, with a complexity that reflects its natural winemaking process. Flavors of dried fruits, nuts, and a touch of citrus zest are underscored by a firm tannic structure, more reminiscent of a red wine than a typical white. The finish is long and layered, with a fascinating interplay between fruit, minerality, and a subtle oxidative note. This wine is a bold and unique expression of Umbria, ideal for those seeking an unconventional and thought-provoking white wine experience.
