Their conviction lies in absolute transparency, treating their high-altitude Pagliaro vineyard as a living, biodiverse ecosystem where the Sagrantino grape is allowed to fully articulate its rugged, intense nature. The 2020 vintage captures this power with a distinct, brooding energy, delivering a structural gravity that demands patience and space to unfold.

Their Rosso San Valentino serves as a profound expression of this belief, drawing from fifty-year-old vines rooted in the region’s dense clay soils to capture an authentic, unvarnished sense of place. In the 2020 vintage, balanced conditions allowed the Sangiovese, Sagrantino, and Montepulciano blend to reach a state of remarkable poise, yielding a wine defined by its savory, resonant depth.

Today, Paolo and his sons Giampiero and Giuseppe honor this legacy through organic viticulture and natural winemaking. Giampiero has become a leading voice in Italy's natural wine movement, co-founding Vini Veri to champion transparent, chemical-free practices. Cotidie—Latin for \"daily\"—represents the estate's foundational expression: a co-ferment of Sagrantino and Trebbiano Spoletino that revives older Umbrian tradition, destemmed and fermented with native yeasts on clay-limestone soils without temperature control, fining, or filtration. The result is a wine of structured elegance and unadorned terroir. Extended skin contact and time on the gross lees yield red plum, blood orange, herbs, and spice balanced by bright acidity and the distinctive Bea character. Firm tannins and earthy undertones anchor the profile, making it equally at home alongside pork, sausages, lentils, or tomato-based dishes. Cotidie delivers Montefalco's essence without pretense—a daily wine that speaks directly to its place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48250131874040,"sku":"20636","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3792_268aafaf-6e22-43d1-9073-d2f9551ee488.jpg?v=1779120164"}],"url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/collections\/region-umbria.oembed","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
