Look:
This wine has a gorgeous deep red colour with a slight hint of garnet around the edges, showing it's got some character.
Smell:
Take a whiff and you'll get a lovely mix of dark cherries, plums, and blackberries. There's a bit of an earthy vibe, with notes of tobacco, leather, and a pinch of black pepper. You might even catch a whiff of violets if you pay close attention.
Taste:
On the palate, it's all about those juicy dark fruits—blackberry and plum come to mind. It's got a nice, smooth feel with enough tannins to give it a good structure without being too much. There's a fresh acidity that makes it easy to drink and perfect for pairing with food. You can taste the spices coming through, and there's a hint of dark chocolate that lingers at the end.
Finish:
The finish is long and leaves a pleasant mix of dark fruit and a touch of minerality, with the spices slowly fading away.
Overall Vibe:
Scacciadiavoli Umbria Rosso is a great all-rounder. It's got a nice balance of fruitiness, spice, and earthy notes. Whether you're having it with a hearty pasta, grilled meats, or just a nice cheese platter, it's a winner. It's classy yet laid-back, perfect for any occasion.
