2020 Paolo and Giampiero Bea Lapideus Umbria Bianco $90
From 80 Year Old Trebbiano Vines
“Lapideus” is a rocket to ride, emphasizing drive and lift over layered density. It is still a wine of impressive power, especially given its modest 12% alcohol, but the fruit is more direct, pure, and foregrounded.
