Tasting Notes: 

San Valentino is a blend of 40% Sagrantino, 40% Sangiovese, and 20% Montepulciano, is the beginning of the journey for Bea lovers. Sourced from a mix of younger vines that don’t make the cut in one of the crus, and partly from 40- to 50-year-old vines, the wine is fermented and aged two years in steel, then transferred to large Slavonian casks for two additional years. 2016 spent 41 days macerating on its skins with a refined texture not seen in past vintages. Incredibly vibrant on the nose this offers a kitchen cabinet of exotic spices as is the norm, but this vintage has an elevated elegance with a stunning balance.


Rating and Reviews

94+ Points - Vinous Media (2019):

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. (Drink between 2025-2034)
