2015 Scacciadiavoli Montefalco Sagrantino Passito

Yes, it's a sweet wine, but hear us out!! Firstly, the worlds' first wines were indeed sweet, so you're getting a taste of a truly ancient craft. Secondly, when you eat sweets, you should pair a wine that's either just as sweet or sweeter than your food. It's science, seriously. Have you ever tried to eat a piece of fruit after a cookie? The fruit tastes tart and acrid. The same think happens to your dry wine-your tastebuds' perception of fruit diminishes and the wine will lose its full depth and potential on your palate. 

 

This Sagrantino Passito takes part of Italy's great tradition of sweet wines. Not all grapes can make a well structured and flavorful sweet wine, but Sagrantino, native to Umbria, pack so much power that it can make all the types of wines.  A red sweet wine that has a tannic presence, it will blow your socks off and you the world of sweet wines will open up to you. Not to mention, truly the best pairing when it comes to chocolate.
