Magnificence in Montefalco
2009 Paolo Bea
Sagrantino di Montefalco "Pagliaro"
Every time that we offer Bea's Pagliaro, we brace ourselves for a flood of orders.
It makes sense. There's a magic to Bea that's easy to get obsessed with.
For us, Bea's Sagrantino Pagliaro is one of the most important wines in all of Italy.
Few wines deliver the mysterious depth and sheer soulfulness that Pagliaro does. Year after year, it's one of the most singular and compelling bottles around.

What makes Pagliaro so special? You can't exactly put your finger on it. There's a wildness and yet something undeniably noble about the wines. Bea has a singular touch with Sagrantino, a grape notorious for its power and burly tannins. In Bea's hands, Sagrantino assumes an astonishing nuance, delicacy and elegance.
The 2009 exemplifies just how multifaceted, saturating and simultaneously agile this bottle can be. The 2009 is a triumph of jam-packed complexity. It covers a mindboggling amount of ground from dark fruits to spice to floral notes. All delivered with finesse and seamless harmony.
We've carried Bea since we first opened our doors. These are wines that we love. The 1996 and 2001 are legends. It's impossible for us not to believe that many share our feelings. For years and years, Bea's Sagrantino has been impossible to keep in stock. It's a safe bet that the 2009 will quickly disappear. Our advice is to jump on this.
