PAOLO BEA 2007 Montefalco Sagrantino "Pagliaro" Pre-offer $72.25 (Reg. $85)  

Paolo Bea has "crafted" a legacy that has few peers in the Italian wine world. Jasko Gravner in Friuli, Giuseppe Quintarelli in Valpolicella, Giacomo Conterno in Barolo, Gian Franco Soldera in Montalcino and Paolo Bea in Umbria. All are benchmark producers of their respective regions, leaders in quality and in distinctiveness born from a singular commitment not only to quality, but to originality, authenticity, and an unwavering striving to do whatever it takes to make the best wine. Paolo Bea has mastered one of the most challenging varietals in all of Italy, a wildly tannic varietal that yields a deeply soulful, yet mellow wine of incomparable power and finesse.
