ACRONEO
Chateau Crabitey is located in Graves, Bordeaux. The owner and winemaker Arnaud de Butler talks about the history of the Chateau with Robert & Mary Scott directors of WinelineMedia. Then, we taste the excellent 2015 vintage and, below, is my tasting of the 2019 vintage, an outstanding wine.
The wine I am tasting is VINO di RAFFAELE. It is a product of ACRONEO, the Calabrian winery of the Bafaro family. They use ancient techniques and aging in amphora to create wines that are both historic and moden.
VINO di RAFFAELE is 100% Magliocco and was mascerated at controlled temperature for 10 days then, aged in barrique, then in the bottle. It is from organic production.
The name, Scacciadiavoli (from “scacciare” – to banish, and “diavoli” - devils), refers to an episode of exorcism in the 14th century . The story tells of a young woman possessed by the devil who was made to drink some local red wine by an exorcist, banishing the demon. Here is Liu Pambuffetti leading us through a excellent tasting.
"You can banish your demons by drinking wines from the Sagrantino grape by Scacciadiavoli."
Castello Pomino winemaker, Livia Ledivelec discusses her techniques in producing three of Castello Pomino's amazing wines from the highest estate in Tuscany. Livia and Robert Scott taste these wines on a lovely morning in October 2018. Enjoy...
A conversation with Andrea Cecchi of Famiglia Cecchi Winery. From generation to generation, Cecchi Family has accompanied the historical journey of Italian wine, which, in less than a century, has gone from being a farmer’s food to a leading national brand, known and appreciated around the world.
