Popped and poured, enjoyed over three days. Consistent throughout. The 2019 is Giampiero’s first vintage of “Cotidie” which is an interesting blend of Sagrantino and Trebbiano. The wine pours a bright, garnet color with a slightly watery rim. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is expressive of bright funky cherries, strawberry, watermelon, and some barnyard. The fruit profile is extremely fresh! On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with juuuuuust a touch of the mouse showing. The finish is medium+ with a pleasant streak of minerals. This is a lighter, more versatile Bea red and yet, there is tremendous depth and maintains the soulfulness one expects from Bea. Just lovely. Drinking very well now however, it should remain in great shape through 2030. Bottle 0934/1647 — 7 months ago

Poured into a Boa decanter about 30min prior to service. The 2016 “Santa Chiara pours a brilliant, deep and slightly hazy copper gold color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with desiccated apricots, dried apples, yellow flowers, and curaçao. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium- tannins. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is super long and super amazing. This is such a wonderful bottle of Bea. When his whites hit, well…they really hit. Drink now with a short decant or over the next 3-5 years.
