With 15.5% alcohol, the Scacciadiavoli 2015 Montefalco Sagrantino is another powerful Umbrian wine from a hot vintage, of which some 35,000 bottles were made. Ripe, jammy fruit mingles with blackberry preserves. This Sagrantino sits boldly on the palate. It is a hearty winter wine for sure.

A rich hint of loamy earth underscores flavors of dried black cherry, anise and dried thyme, with a touch of citrus peel, in this fresh, finely knit red. Full-bodied, featuring a dense core of tannins that provides firm definition throughout, though the balance suggests this should open nicely with short-term cellaring. Best from 2021 through 2030. 4,500 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montefalco Sagrantino Select to Add
