Scacciadiavoli was founded in 1881 and is one of the oldest and most revered estates in the Montefalco region of Umbria, combining over a century of tradition with considered modern winemaking. Their Montefalco Sagrantino is the estate's flagship wine and one of the most serious expressions of this extraordinary indigenous variety anywhere in Italy.

Why You'll Love It

Sagrantino is one of the most remarkable and singular red grapes in the world, found almost exclusively in the hills around Montefalco in Umbria, and Scacciadiavoli's version is a benchmark. Inky, powerful, and built for the long haul, this is a wine of extraordinary concentration and depth that rewards patience and demands food. One month of skin maceration extracts every ounce of colour, tannin, and flavour the variety has to offer, while careful oak ageing softens and integrates the structure without taming the wine's wild, commanding character. A bottle to open on a special occasion, or to lay down and revisit in five to ten years.

Vineyard & Production

Made from 100% Sagrantino grown in the Montefalco hills of Umbria, where the rugged, landlocked terrain and continental climate produce grapes of exceptional concentration. The grapes undergo an extended maceration of one month on skins, extracting the deep colour, firm tannins, and intense fruit character that define the variety. Fermentation takes place in large, old French oak vats, followed by ageing with 50% in barrel (15% new oak), allowing oxygen to gradually soften the powerful structure and integrate the tannins into a wine of genuine harmony and depth.

Tasting Notes

Inky black in colour with an intense and brooding nose of deep black fruit, cassis, and spice. The palate is full-bodied and commanding, with firm, well-integrated tannins complemented by ripe black fruit, mineral notes, wild herbs, and subtle spice. A wine of real presence and longevity, with a finish that lingers long after the glass is empty.

Perfect Pairings

A natural match for wild boar ragu, slow-braised beef shin, bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted lamb, venison, aged pecorino, or a board of strong, mature cheeses. Decanting for at least an hour is strongly recommended to allow the wine's full character to unfold.
