Paolo Bea Cotidie Umbria Rossi 2022

A blend of Sagrantino della Pianura & Trebbiano Spoletino, this dry red is light in both body and color. Cotidie denotes an everyday wine in Latin, and the estate uses winemaking techniques used back in antiquity. The grapes were destemmed, and co-fermented for 13 days, and the wine spent 147 days on the gross lees after racking. Pair with puls with a garum finish.

A blend of Sagrantino and Trebbiano Spolentino, a red grape and a white grape, this vibrant, easy-drinking red wine is nimble and elegant, earthy and fruit-focused, and incredibly delicious. 

Estate History: References in the archives of Montefalco, the beautiful hill town in Umbria, document the presence of the Bea family in this locality as early as 1500. This tiny estate is the classic Italian fattoria, producing wine, raising farm animals for trade and home consumption and working the land to produce olives, fruits and vegetables. To this day, the Bea family raises and produces much of what they consume on a daily basis.
Paolo Bea, the senior member of the family, is the guiding force behind the production of this series of intense and idiosyncratic wines. He is assisted by his two sons, Giuseppe, who farms the vineyards, and Giampiero, who assists in the vinification and is responsible for all commercial aspects of the winery.  The entire property encompasses 15 hectares: 5 of which are dedicated to the vineyards, 2 to olives, and the remainder to the fruits, vegetables and grains that are grown.
​Sagrantino is the predominant grape, covering 60% of the vineyard surface. The remaining 40% is planted to Sangiovese and Montepulciano, with a small parcel planted to several white varieties. The vineyards are cultivated organically, all grapes are harvested manually and all wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
