The San Valentino Umbria Rosso 2020 is a vibrant and characterful blend dominated by Sangiovese with supporting local varieties. The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, and earthy notes, layered with subtle spice and balsamic nuance. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with lively acidity and fine, slightly rustic tannins. Flavors of sour plum, cranberry, and savory earth unfold with energy and depth. The texture is raw yet harmonious, reflecting Bea’s natural approach. The finish is long, fresh, and gently wild—an authentic Umbrian red that balances drinkability with personality.
Paolo Bea is one of Italy’s most iconic natural and traditionalist estates, based in Montefalco, Umbria. The Bea family farms organically with a deep respect for biodiversity, old vines, and extremely low yields. Winemaking is radically non-interventionist: spontaneous fermentations, long macerations, extended aging in large oak, and no filtration. Wines are released only when ready, often after many years, reflecting a philosophy of patience and authenticity. The style is raw yet precise, combining rustic depth with remarkable finesse. Paolo Bea wines are among the most distinctive and age-worthy expressions of central Italy.
