This is elegant and refined, with silken textures and admirable weight, all supported by fresh acidity, as masses of ripe blueberry blend with sage and a salty tinge of minerality. A balsamic twang saturates the palate as the 2019 finishes staining and long with a saturation of primary concentration and a pleasantly bitter tinge that lingers over a bed of fine-grained tannins. Just a baby today, the 2019 is geared for the cellar. This is a spellbinding vintage of Pagliaro.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ci\u003e- By Eric Guido on August 2024\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Garamond\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrape: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% Sagrantino\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fabled local grape of Montefalco is the Sagrantino and the Pagliaro vineyard, situated at 1,300 feet in altitude, is dedicated in large part to this grape variety. The harvest of Sagrantino normally occurs during the second half of October. The cuvaison extends for forty to fifty days. The wines is then aged for one year in stainless steel, another two years in large Slavonian oak barrels and, finally, spends one more year in bottle (the wine, like all Bea wines, is unfiltered) before release. Annual production from the Pagliaro vineyard is 15,000 to 20,000 bottles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Garamond\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppellation: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDOCG Sagrantino di Montefalco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduction:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e,000 bottles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Garamond\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAverage ABV:\u003c\/b\u003e 15%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Garamond\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn the Vineyard:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the the Pagliaro vineyard which faces south and southwest at 1300 feet above sea level (400m ASL)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein limestone-clay and gravel.
