Scacciadiavoli is one of Umbria's most historic estates, situated in Montefalco, the rugged and landlocked heartland of central Italy that sits south-east of Tuscany. With a long history of wine farming and a fierce dedication to indigenous varieties, Scacciadiavoli is the definitive address for Sagrantino, a grape found virtually nowhere else on earth and capable of producing wines of extraordinary power, depth, and longevity.

Why You'll Love It

Montefalco Rosso is the more approachable expression in the Sagrantino family, blending the variety's inky intensity and firm tannins with Sangiovese and other local grapes for a wine that is bold and characterful without demanding years of cellaring. This is a wine for those who want something genuinely different: an outlier, an original, a red that stands apart from the crowd. Tons of red berry fruit, a refreshing finish, and tannins that are firm but harmonised make it a natural at the dinner table. It only gets better with food.

Vineyard & Production

The vineyards of Montefalco sit on the rugged hills of Umbria, where the wild, landlocked terrain and continental climate produce grapes of exceptional concentration and character. Sagrantino, the indigenous variety at the heart of this wine, is one of the most tannic grapes in the world, requiring careful viticulture and winemaking to bring it into balance. Scacciadiavoli's long experience with the variety ensures the tannins are managed with skill, producing a Montefalco Rosso of genuine harmony and depth.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in colour with an expressive nose of red berries, dark cherry, and earthy, wild herb notes typical of Umbrian reds. The palate delivers generous red berry fruit with a firm tannic backbone that is nicely harmonised and well-integrated. The finish is refreshing and clean, with the structure and grip that make this wine a natural partner for food.

Perfect Pairings

A superb match for wild boar ragu, slow-braised beef, lamb with rosemary, grilled sausages, hearty pasta dishes, aged pecorino, or a generous charcuterie board. The wine's firm tannins and refreshing acidity make it an ideal companion for rich, flavoursome food.
