From magnum. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the make, the wine is developing with notes of cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, red flowers, licorice and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Well made. Drink now through 2036. — 2 months ago

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The The 2020 Santa Chiara appears a deep orange color with notes of marmalade, apricot, flowers, and varnish (VA). The palate shows low+ tannin and decent acid. Tasty, complex stuff as usual. A lovely pairing with gougère of prosciutto, green olive and honey. Drink now through 2030-ish. Bottle No. 2814/5940 — 5 months ago

Guesses for this blind basically took us on an Italian wine country tour - from Montalcino to the Alto Aldige to Alto Piedmonte. Ergo, variety guesses were as good as a shot in the dark - Sangiovese, Pinot Nero, Nebbiolo, strange Italian variety names courtesy of the Italian winemakers on the table. What is clear though is the youth and elegance of the wine. Heaps of sweet black cherries and roses, some herbs and spices, along with juicy acidity and superfine tannins, which most thought were a touch green. I thought it drank it really well, though if anything, the blind does prove how difficult it can be to pinpoint these “gentler” style of reds which are more giving in their youth. And the reveal - A Sangiovese from Emilia-Romagna. Who would have thought? — 3 years ago

We opened a 2014 Paolo Bea “Santa Chiara” that was horribly corked and we were so gutted by the experience that we decided an immediate and measured response was necessary to make up fo the tragedy. So we opened a 2016 Granato. Aaaaaand, this was an absolute show-stopper for everyone who got to try it. Bright red fruit, minerals, and sex. Drink now with patience (last glass was best) or hold out for more. — 7 years ago
