Details
This is a blend of Grechetto, Trebbiano Spoletino and Chardonnay - the former two being very typical of Umbria. We love this, and if you prefer your wines on the less fruit-driven, nuttier side of the spectrum, then this will be right up your street. Savoury, pithy and saline - yum!

Founded in 1884, Azienda Agraria Scacciadiavoli is now run by the Pambuffetti family who crafts exceptional wines made from a mixture of both local and indigenous grape varieties as well as more recognised international ones. The largest feather in their cap is undoubtedly their Sagrantino wine made under the Montefalco DOCG (DOCG being the highest mark of quality for wine in Italy), however, they are also renowned for producing excellent Merlot and unsurprisingly, Sangiovese. Oddly, it was Scacciadiavoli's white wine made from Grechetto that caught our eye here at Good Pair Days and this is certainly a wine to look out for! Scacciadiavoli commands around 40 hectares of vineyards within their 130-hectare estate. Given the estate's history, renovations were needed circa the year 2000 when modernisation took place both within the old winery, as well as significant investment in vineyard equipment. Cool fact: broken down, 'Scacciadiavoli' roughly translates to 'banishing the devil' and is a reference to a local legend that tells of a woman in the 18th century who was supposedly given red wine as a form of exorcism.

Pairing guide
Deeply aromatic and oh-so satisfying on the palate, this elegant white blend from the ever-inventive Scacciadiavoli is a real treat for the senses. It’s a great wine for pairing with creamier chicken or pork pasta dishes, white meats cooked in a rich white sauce, or for seafood such as lobster and dressed crab. Layered potato dishes, soft cheeses like brie and camembert, and risotto or baked rice dishes will also do the job perfectly with this flavourful wine.
