Sagrantino.... Tiny production, almost nothing exported. I managed to find a bottle of the 2004 vintage Scacciadiavoli Sagrantino. If it was not for the internet its likely I would never have had the opportunity to try this one. Don't worry I am sure our politicians are working on shutting down availability of this and many other wines in order to bloat the pocketbooks of the entrenched liquor distributors. Or maybe that only happens in Illinois. Grab your pocketbooks people this is going to be an ugly decade.
Big, Tannic, Zinfandel on steroids. Currants and backbone. Yes this is a bruiser but its not bad at all. Next time I am in Montefalco I would love to try a well aged bottle of this stuff. At $36 a bottle though I won't be buying it again.
