Sunday, August 20, 2023 - A generous present from Philip Chan: Our favorite Paolo Bea wine -- one of our favorite wines, period -- is the 100% sagrantino Pagliaro. This one is mostly Sangiovese (with 15% sagrantino and 15% montepulciano). It has the Bea style, without the full-on wildness of the Pagliaro -- lovely, leathery flavor, a lot of tannin, dark blackberry fruitedness. The tannin, which persisted all the way through the last glass, is more exciting than intimidating, and so the wine is drinkable now, but will last for a long time.
