The Rosso de Veo ('Veo' being the way the family’s name is pronounced in old Umbrian dialect), is a selection of the Bea estate’s younger Sagrantino vines, principally from the 'Cerrete' vineyard which graces the highest point in Montefalco, between 1300 and 1500 feet above sea level. Since the 2005 vintage, it's pure Sagrantino, vinified in a similar fashion to the single vineyard bottlings with a long cuvaison of forty to fifty days, and a total of 4 years of elevage before release. The 2019 vintage is intense, with a burst of dried black cherries, autumnal spices and rubbed sage. This is a dark and brooding vintage for Veo, with depths of ripe red and blue fruit propelled by zesty acidity. Saline minerals saturate, and a primary concentration forms toward the close. It finishes dramatically long and tannic, yet they are round and soft contoured. Licorice and a tart cranberry concentration linger on and on.
