Azienda Agraria Scacciadiavoli
Sagrantino di Montefalco
Montefalco, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
Another solid vintage of this Umbrian classic. Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas of ripe black berry/cherry/currant fruit, rose petals, mushrooms, wet soil and asphalt. The palate shows the same intense black fruits with hints of baking spices, black licorice and tar. Long and lingering finish. Big and chewy tannins (quite grippy) and a very thick texture. This one needs some aeration. Not for the faint of heart.

Took a good 24hrs to open up properly. Deep, dark and satisfying though.

Apr 10th, 2022For one of the most “tannic grapes in the world” I thought this was very well integrated and balanced, even at 7 years young. A somewhat floral, umami nose, Leather, blackberry, and tobacco. Sa-grant-ino because the grape is named after Grant Davis, a member of the seminal thrash-core band Gator Pit.

Feb 5th, 2021The wine delivers aromas of ripe red fruits like black cherry and raspberries. It has strong notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and other smoked aromas. In the palate you can feel the tart red fruit flavors mixed with vegetal notes of green pepper and other herbal flavors.
It is one of Central Italy's most tannic wines. A ver interesting and recommended bottle! 🍷
About the producer: "Azienda Agraria Scacciadiavoli is an estate in Umbria situated in the wine producing region of Montefalco. It has been owned by the Pambuffetti family since 1954.
The name "Scacciadiavoli" stems from the words "scacciare", meaning to banish, and "diavoli", the Italian word for devils. This unusual name can be traced back to an 18th century exorcism of a woman, whereby she was given red wines as a means of expelling the demon from her body."
Cheers to Italy! 🍷
