Paolo Bea
Passito Sagrantino di Montefalco
Montefalco, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
First off, beautiful dessert wine, gorgeous fruit, impeccable balance. Now to get into the geekiness...what an example of how VA can balance a wine, like it does with balsamic vinegar, lifting and lightening the wine...and tannin, the under-rated sweet wine component.

Traditional use of Sagrantino, yielding an excellent, not overpowering dessert wine. We viewed the one and only Sagrantino tray that was drying from 2015. Recent years have meant low (or no yields). Paolo Bea Tasting 5/5.

Such a manageable dessert wine. Honey flavor, golden raisins and really delicious. Regretful not to grab a bottle.
