sumptuous wine that totally covers the palate with dense dark fruit. The 2005 Pagliaro is impressive in the way it achieves superb density while retaining the elements of delicate, nuanced subtlety that inform Bea’s finest wines. This is a fabulous effort from Bea.” (Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate)

Sagrantino tannins. It shows marvelous balance in a full-throttle, opulent style. There is marvelous intensity in the glass as the wine builds towards the imposing yet beautifully balanced, utterly radiant finish, where varietal notes become more prominent. The 2007 Sagrantino is a great introduction for readers who are new to the grape, although this is one of the more exuberant expressions on the market. Colpetrone gave the Sagrantino 18 months in mid-size French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.”
About 6 months ago we were looking for a Sagrantino that didn’t break the bank when we heard the good news—Colpetrone lowered their prices in the US by almost half. Sagrantino di Montefalco, from Italy’s Umbria region, remains fairly rare, but these wines will easily rival Brunello for ageability and complexity, depth and power. Just last week we tasted the Colpetrone again at the annual Gamberro Rosso “Tre Bicchieri” event in San Francisco. Only the top award winners are allowed to pour at the event—about 400 wines out of 40,000+ the Gamberro Rosso tastes each year. Needless to say, The “Tre Bicchieri” is a peerless event for top tier Italian wines. But even in this select company of great (and often expensive) wines, the Colpetrone Sagrantino stayed with us and stood out as one of the best of the best. What started as a tasty find to fill a need in our Italian section has grown to a true staff favorite.
