About this product
Bea's flagship natural Sagrantino from the Pagliaro cru — fermented with natural yeasts, macerated for 70+ days, aged in old Slavonian oak for years. Almost impossibly structured in youth but reveals extraordinary complexity of mineral, dried cherry, and tobacco after 15+ years.

Central Italian porchetta — the whole pig's succulence and fat provide the buffer for Pagliaro's power.

complement
The most tannic wine with the most bitter chocolate — iron and tannin mirror each other in an austere pairing.
