Paolo Bea 2014 'Arboreus' Trebbiano Spoletino Bianco, Umbria, Italy

One of the early success stories in the modern-day revival of skin-macerated white wines, Bea’s beloved “Arboreus” originates from exceedingly old Trebbiano vines in the village of Spoleto. A striking instance of non-standard training, these ancient vines wrap themselves around the trunks and branches of trees (hence the wine’s name), growing and ripening high above the ground. The wine's palate is chiseled, markedly tannic (though well-balanced), and driven by resonant acidity, with the marzipan and apricot notes echoing strongly.

  • Winemaker: Paolo Bea
  • Farming: Organic
  • Variety: Trebbiano Spoletino 100%
  • Terroir: From the the Pagliaro vineyard, which faces south and southwest at 1,300 feet above sea level. Limestone-clay and gravel soils with 20+ year old cordon-trained vines.
  • Vinification: Hand harvested, after crushing and destemming, wine ferments spontaneously in stainless steel tanks, spending at least 2 weeks on its skins. Pressed in vertical basket press, with 24 months on less. ML is spontaneous.
  • Aging:  Up to 24 months in stainless steel tanks. Unfined, unfiltered, no added sulfur with 40-55 mg/l total sulfur.
