Textural & Aromatic
The 2018 Arboreus is a distinctive orange wine made from rare Trebbiano Spoletino grapes, cultivated on high-trained vines in Umbria’s clay and gravel soils between Trevi and Montefalco. Fermented with up to three weeks of skin contact and aged in stainless steel for over two years without added sulfur, this vintage displays a vibrant amber hue and a richly textured palate. Aromas of orchard fruit, citrus zest, wild herbs, and honey lead to a full-bodied, balanced wine with lively acidity, fine tannins, and a long, complex finish. With only 3,000 bottles produced annually, the 2018 Arboreus is a rare and expressive reflection of Umbria’s terroir and Paolo Bea’s natural winemaking philosophy.
About the Winery
Paolo Bea
The Bea family of Montefalco embodies a centuries-old philosophy of living and working in harmony with nature. Deeply rooted in their land and traditions, they produce natural wines without synthetic chemicals or forced stabilization, allowing the true character of each vintage and terroir to shine through. Led by Giampiero Bea and supported by his family, their work reflects a profound respect for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and the rhythms of the earth. Every step of the process—from vineyard to bottle—is carried out with patience and care, guided by observation, lunar cycles, and ancestral knowledge. Their wines are not the result of industrial standardization, but rather of thoughtful agriculture that seeks balance between human hands and natural forces. The result is honest, healthy, expressive wines that speak of place, time, and tradition.
