There's a magic to Bea that's easy to get obsessed with.
It's a wine that brims with soul, mystery and elegance. Few wines anywhere deliver this combination so powerfully.
For us, Bea's Sagrantino Pagliaro is one of the most compelling wines to be found in all of Italy. It's a view that seems to be widely shared. Every time that we offer Bea's Pagliaro, we brace ourselves for a flood of orders.
2010 is a dazzling vintage for the Sagrantino Pagliaro. Like many other places, 2010 in Umbria is a story of low yields, concentration and crystal clear freshness and minerality.
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 and even delicacy.
The 2010 Sagrantino "Pagliaro" has a vibrancy that dances with subtle shavings of wild complexity. This is a wine that thrives on an untamed beauty and complexity, but there's also a lifted regal side. The tension between the two is captivating.
These are wines that we love. Bea has been a fixture at Crush since we opened our doors. The 2001 has assumed legendary status. The 2010 Pagliaro has the combination of concentration and freshness that make us expect it to dazzle for many years to come.
