2021 Scacciadiavoli Montefalco Rosso

Winemaker Notes:  Big and dark, yet not too aggressive on tannin. A well made entry level red for powerful red wine lovers.  

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.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "Forward and giving from the start, this wine opens with aromas of ripe black cherries and blackberries with layers of spice both sweet and savory. The mouthfilling palate is generous with loads of fruit but balanced with more savory and earth-driven notes followed by well-grained tannins. Drink now–2035. Best Buy"


James Suckling - "Notes of ripe cherries and raspberries with red licorice and dried flower undertones. Medium-bodied with crunchy tannins and a chalky, mineral nature. Dry yet juicy with a savory finish. Drink or hold. "
