'Rosso de Veo' Umbria Rosso 2019

“Rosso de Véo” is a selection of the Bea estate’s younger Sagrantino vines, principally from the Cerrete vineyard which graces the highest point in Montefalco, between 1300-1500 feet above sea level. The soil is clay and limestone infused with small pebbles from an ancient riverbed. This wine is vinified in a similar fashion to the single vineyard Sagrantino with a long cuvaison which extends 40-50 days. The wine is then aged one year in stainless steel tanks, two years in large oak barrels and another year in bottle before release. Sunny and fresh, yet powerful, this wine offers ripe, crunchy dark fruit, warm spice, intense minerality, all buoyed on mouthwatering freshness and firm tannins.
