It dresses the glass in a beautiful deep ruby red. The nose is first set on dark fruit in jam and in alcohol, such as currants, black cherries and plums, then followed by intense references to green pepper, cocoa, rhubarb, licorice and chinotto. The mouth is extremely consistent with the nose, and is powerful but well managed in the tannic texture, warm, with excellent body and long persistence. Also ideal for the whole meal with the courses of the land cuisine, it is to be tried as an accompaniment to rabbit alla cacciatora.

Intense ruby red and full to the eye. The nose firstly gives deep notes of dark fruit, such as blackberries, sour cherries and black cherries, overripe and jam, then followed by references to eucalyptus, tamarind, cinnamon, myrtle and cocoa. The palate is all played between sweetness and tannins, to prove balanced, full-bodied and with a long persistence. Perfect with chocolate and excellent with fruit tarts, it is also ideal sipped alone as a meditation wine.

Montefalco Grechetto doc is a dry wine that presents a range of lively aromas on the nose as well as in the mouth. Sweet fruit, white and yellow flowers and a good acidic freshness keep it alive and persistent. A native white grape of Umbria, in Scacciadiavoli it is vinified in purity. It accompanies hot summer days served at the right temperature and goes well with first courses or light main courses all year round. Wine to drink young. The presence of deposits in the bottom of the bottle is natural.

That the Trebbiano Spoletino grape is of high enological interest is now a certain fact. It is an ancient vine that has only recently been rediscovered. It can be grown in the territory of Spoleto and Montefalco. In our cellar we have aimed to capture the finer and at the same time intriguing soul of this grape. We have given space to its changing and original aromas with a vinification in amphora that respects these characteristics and then we have strengthened its expressive character with an aging in untoasted wood and amphora for at least 9 months. In our opinion the result is that of a great white wine for aging, capable of surprising at every sip for its richness of facets.

The color is deep, the bouquet is sensual and the body is vigorous. Wine whose refinement is appreciated when young, when fruit and spices blend with the taste of wood, in which Sagrantino has been elevated. But it is after a few years that its success is fully appreciated, when balsamic notes intervene and the tannins soften: thus we discover a wine with a great personality. Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG is suitable for long aging: 20 and more years. Rich in polyphenols which have antioxidant and therefore beneficial properties. The presence of deposits in the bottom of the bottle is natural.

Wine of excellent workmanship. Intense ruby red color, ample, elegant perfume with hints of cherry, soft and voluminous flavor. In the ancient tradition of the territory of Montefalco, after selecting the grapes for the production of Montefalco Sagrantino, all the other red varieties were harvested for the composition of a fresher and easy-to-match wine. Scacciadiavoli takes inspiration from this tradition and perfects it by adding that touch that makes this wine even more lovable.

This sweet wine has a unique style. The red color is impenetrable, the scent evokes blackberries, dried fruit and cinnamon, the taste is of a singular balance. In fact, the dense texture of tannins imprisons acidity and sweetness and everything is confused, creating a gustatory sensation of harmonious fullness. It is thanks to the drying of Sagrantino grapes on racks that such a concentration is obtained. Originally Sagrantino grapes were used only for the making of this sweet wine, drunk on the occasion of religious ceremonies in the villages of the area.

Refined and intense, structured and persistent , it is obtained from Chardonnay grapes with a small percentage of Grechetto, a native grape that brings acidity and binds it even more to the territory. The vinification takes place in Allier and Troncaise barriques, where the wine then matures for six months before being bottled and left to refine for another 10 months.

Cervaro della Sala is clearly a white out of the box even in the tasting phase. At the sight it appears of a straw yellow with greenish hues. The nose is complex and broad: exotic fruit, citrus, and toasted notes of vanilla and butter deriving from aging in wood. In the mouth the important body is accompanied by a freshness and acidity that end in a long and persistent finish. A good white now and also in 15 years.

The "Conte della Vipera" is an intense and pleasant semi-aromatic white wine, with exuberant hints of citrus, peach and exotic fruit. On the palate it is immediate, fresh, rich, balanced and enveloping, of immediate and generous pleasure

The Orvieto Classico Superiore San Giovanni della Sala di Antinori is born in vineyards located in the land surrounding the Castello della Sala, in Umbria. It is produced with Grechetto, Procanico, Pinot Bianco and Viognier grapes, harvested entirely by hand starting from the second week of September. Fermentation takes place separately by variety, with a part of the grapes subjected to a short cold maceration and the others pressed directly, in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 16 ° C. The wine ages on its lees for a few months in view of the subsequent assembly and bottling.
