Paolo Bea 2020 'Lapideus' Trebbiano Spoletino Bianco, Umbria, Italy

Giampiero acquired a parcel of 80-year-old Trebbiano Spoletino in the town of Pigge di Trevi several years back. Arising from a cooler microclimate than the Arboreus above, the wines see similar vinifications, yet one yield markedly different results. Lapideus has a leaner, racier carriage than the broad-shouldered Arboreus, with a more precise sense of acidity. A subtle note of honeyed sweetness at the wine’s core speaks of its warm-climate origins, and Bea’s propensity for wildness reveals itself in a fasci- nating but ephemeral cheese-rind whisper in its aromatics.

  • Winemaker: Paolo Bea
  • Farming: Organic
  • Variety: Trebbiano Spoletino 100%
  • Terroir: From a parcel near the commune of Pigge di Trevi, Limestone-clay and gravel.
  • Vinification: Hand harvested, after crushing and destemming, wine ferments spontaneously in stainless-steel tanks, spending at least 2 weeks on its skins and then spends 24 months on its lees.
  • Aging:  Up to 24 months in stainless steel tanks. Unfined, unfiltered, no added sulfur with 40-55 mg/l total sulfur.
