The 2009 vintage from Pipparello shows a deep garnet core and opens with layered aromas of dark cherry, cassis, dried rose petals, subtle tar‑like earth and wild herbs—a true expression of Montefalco’s hillside soils. On the palate it is medium‑to‑full bodied with lively acidity framing fine‑grained tannins, flavors of blackberry compote, espresso, tobacco leaf and mineral undercurrent, culminating in a long, savory finish. This wine blends youthful energy with structural grip and promises further refinement with age. 

Paolo Bea is a pioneering figure in Umbria’s Montefalco region, known for his organic and biodynamic farming methods and a fiercely individualistic winemaking approach. The Bea estate emphasizes minimal intervention—native yeasts, no filtration, and a deep respect for terroir—yielding wines of intensity, purity and ageworthiness. The family’s commitment builds on a foundation of tradition and authenticity, blending site‑specific expression with timeless technique.
