Montefalco, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
While Montefalco earns most notoriety for its intense reds, a handful of white wines also leave its boundaries. This one from Scacciadiavoli comes from 50% Grechetto, and 25% each of Trebbiano and Chardonnay. While more reserved on the nose with gentle white florals, the palate finds a steely, acidic breadth that electrifies the wine - lemon juice, almond skin, acacia blossom, white rose, pears, and salt. Gripping and lengthy.
