Scacciadiavoli’s Montefalco Rosso boasts an intense red ruby color, an expansive, elegant bouquet with scents of cherry, and a soft and voluptuous flavour.

According to the ancient wine making tradition  of the Montefalco area, after selecting the grapes for the production of the Montefalco Sagrantino, all the other varietals of red grapes were harvested for the production of a fresher wine, to accompany all type of dishes.

Montefalco Rosso lends itself well to ageing for yeards. The presence of sediments in the bottom of the bottle is natural.
