Paolo Bea Vigneto Cerrete Montefalco 2012 CAHORS Issued from Meix Chavaux parcelsThe family has owned a parcel in Cerrete, the highest altitude vineyard in Montefalco, for some time, but it wasnt until the 2007 vintage that Giampiero deemed the vines old enough to do justice to the crus potential. With its poor, mineral rich soils and its acidity preserving altitude (450 to 500 meters), Cerrete yields a wine not more powerful than Beas other pure Sagrantino titan Pagliaro, but with greater nuance and a finer expression of detail.
