Scacciadiavoli
The Scacciadiavoli* winery has a history of over one hundred years. It is a story of generations of winemakers passing on their love for the land and for the territory. Montefalco and Sagrantino are part of the DNA of the Scacciadiavoli winery, and of the Pambuffetti family. In 1954 Amilcare Pambuffetti, at 71, bought the Scacciadiavoli holding, where at the age of 14 he had worked as a farm hand. Upon his death in 1977 his sons Alfio, Settimio and Mario continued the tradition. In the year 2000 the Pambuffetti brothers (Francesco, Carlo, and Amilcare), the children of Settimio, took charge of the winery. Today, the family’s fourth generation, Amilcare, Iacopo, Liù, Romeo and Fiammetta hold on to the dream that began with Amilcare.
*The name Scacciadiavoli dates back to a 14th-century exorcism episode. The story tells of a young woman possessed by the devil. The exorcist made her drink the local wine which succeeding in driving out the demon.
