Feel the high spirituality and rustic energy of a wine unknown to most but appreciated like few others by experts. Founded in 1884, the Scacciadiavoli (from scacciare – to banish, and diavoli – devils) winery takes its name from an exorcist that lived in a town at the borders of the property who used the wine for his rituals.
The winery was conceived by Prince Ugo Boncompagni Ludovisi as a modern but still “human” activity: an imposing oenological complex, highly advanced for its age, and today the Pambuffetti family is baldly going on in the future centuries with the proudness of being one of the few Italian Wine Spectator’s TOP 100. And EXCLUSIVELY our guest will taste exactly that wine, that vintage: the TOP 100!!!

Scacciadiavoli Montefalco Sagrantino 2011*
This finely balanced Sagrantino layers creamy tannins with a pretty array of raspberry ganache, fig cake and dried sage flavors, accented by aromatic hints of rose petal and spice. Elegant and lightly juicy, with a subtle mineral streak that gains momentum on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 4,000 cases made. —AN
