(7/2020) In Italy wine regions are defined by their respective "Noble Grapes." For Tuscany it is Sangiovese, in Piemonte it's Nebbiolo. In Montefalco, the grape is called Sagrantino. Sagrantino brings a power and taste profile rarely seen in Italian reds. The kicker is that, according to scientific testing, it is potentially the most tannic grape in the world, and bottlings of 100% Sagrantino can be too aggressive in their infancy. The winemakers in Montefalco have thus come up with ways to make Sagrantino more approachable. At Scacciadiavoli, they blend in Sangiovese and Merlot to temper the raw tenacity of Sagrantino. The end product is an incredibly graceful wine with a beautiful nose of cherry, raspberry and spice followed by darker fruit flavors, earthy underbrush and a hint of oak on the palate. This wine has great acidity and the weight to pair with a multitude of dishes. Try with Pasta Bolognese, Porchetta or heavier stews. Umbria is known for their black truffles. If you are able to add some shavings to your dish, that will make the match even better!
