Paolo Bea is known as the Italian master of natural wines. His 2017 San Valentino is a mesmerizing blend of 70% Sangiovese grapes, 15% Montepulciano, and 15% Sagrantino. Dense in color with burgundy and purple tones, this wine offers intense aromas of plums and vanilla. The palate is packed with plum and black cherry notes, followed by waves of dried orange peel, violets, black pepper, and underbrush. It is medium-bodied and refined with fresh acidity, fine chalky tannins, and a juicy finish.
