Paolo Bea - San Valentino Umbria Igt 2019 (750ml)

Vinous 95 points
"The 2019 Rosso San Valentino is impossible to ignore, with a bouquet that reminds me of Christmas morning. A burst of black cherries, allspice and clove give way to dark chocolate and mint. This displays textures of pure silk, lifted and energetic, with depths of ripe wild berry fruits and a core of stimulating acidity that keeps the palate reeling. The 2019 finishes staining, long and lightly structured, with grippy tannins that tug at the cheeks. However, through it all, the final note is freshness. The 2019 is a high-energy and loveable Rosso San Valentino that will turn many heads."
