Paolo & Giampiero Bea Lapideus Bianco Umbria 2021

Paolo and Giampiero Bea "Lapideus" Trebbiano Spoletino is an exceptional and unique white wine from the legendary Bea family, renowned for their natural winemaking approach in Umbria. "Lapideus" is made from Trebbiano Spoletino, an ancient and lesser-known variety native to the region. Sourced from old vines grown in high-altitude vineyards with limestone-rich soils, this wine showcases the Bea family’s commitment to biodynamic practices and minimal intervention, resulting in a wine that truly reflects its terroir. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, followed by a long maceration on the skins, giving the wine a rich texture and depth of flavor rarely seen in white wines. Aged in stainless steel and large neutral vessels, "Lapideus" preserves the purity of the fruit while developing complexity over time. The nose offers captivating aromas of stone fruits, citrus peel, wild herbs, and floral notes, with a slight oxidative character typical of the Bea style. On the palate, it is full-bodied and textured, with a vibrant acidity that balances the wine’s richness. Flavors of ripe pear, apricot, almond, and minerality unfold, leading to a long, layered finish with a savory edge. This is a wine for adventurous palates and pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, from grilled seafood and roasted poultry to aged cheeses and creamy pastas. Paolo and Giampiero Bea "Lapideus" Trebbiano Spoletino is a distinctive and age-worthy wine that offers a deep connection to Umbria.

Critical Acclaim

93 Vinous

The 2021 Lapideus is a deep golden hue. Its perfumed bouquet boasts incense and spice drops, freshly sliced nectarines and hints of clove. This floods the palate with round and supple textures offset by salty minerality and crisp orchard fruits. The 2021 gains a spicier personality with each passing second. It mixes sweet and sour through the contrasting finale, as tangerine and lemon rind traces fade slowly. This is beautifully balanced and exotic, having spent thirty-four days macerating on the skins and finished at just 11% abv. Fantastic.
