Scacciadiavoli Sagrantino di Montefalco 2019
Scacciadiavoli Sagrantino di Montefalco 2019
What one expects from dry, tannic reds - complex tannins can get sweet in the best vintages, but the leading core of dense fruit, jam / preserves, tobacco, and forest floor with prominent oak tones.
Founded in 1884, Cantina Scacciadiavoli, “cast out the devils”, takes its name from a 19th century exorcist who lived in the small village bordering the vineyard. He was known to use the wines while performing his exorcist ritual of ridding poor souls of demons. The estate was built as a complex and modern wine “factory,” which today spans 130 hectares, 40 of which are vineyards. The vines cover a hill in the heart of the Montefalco appellation, divided between the three provinces of Gualdo Cattaneo, Giano dell’Umbria, and Montefalco.

"Austere and articulate, harmonious in its progression of sour cherry, dried flowers, liquorice, and calamint. Tamarind, citrus, and balsamic nuances complete a profile filled with sensations that lend greater freshness. Medium-bodied with tight yet chiseled tannins, it remains enjoyable until the finish, where a darting freshness refreshes the palate. Drink now or cellar."
93 Points Falstaff
Bright ruby red colour with a light brightening on the rim. On the nose seductive fruit notes, cherries and raspberries, a touch of dark chocolate in the aftertaste. Crisp on the palate, with a pleasant astringency, fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, savoury finish.
