The Bea family have been making wine in Umbria since the 1500’s and are so interwoven with the character of the region that their blood practically runs through the vines themselves. Giampiero and Giuseppe Bea largely run the show at Bea today, though their father Paolo is still omnipresent in his beloved vineyards. It’s hard to convey what makes these wines as special as they are. Importer: "The Umbria Bianco Spoletino is made from a Trebbiano clone known as Trebbiano Spoletino which is trained so that the fruit hangs high above the ground. The vineyards are planted in the low hills between Trevi and Montefalco at an elevation of 650 -700 feet with a range of parcels facing both east and southwest. The soil is essentially clay and gravel. Harvest generally occurs during the first two weeks of October. The wine is left in contact with the skins for up to three weeks or more and is then aged in stainless steel tanks for at least two years prior to bottling. Sulfur is never added. Annual production is in the range of 3000 bottles."
