Paolo Bea Lapideus (2018)

While this wine technically reads very similar to Bea's Arboreus (made from 100% skin-macerated Trebbiano Spoletino), Lapideus is a leaner, racier interpretation. “If Arboreus is a sea to swim in, Lapideus is a rocket to ride,” describes the importer. The fruit is more direct, with more forthcoming notes of apricot, candied ginger, and spicy clove. It's one of the best examples of Umbrian wine you’ll find.
