It is one of the oldest companies in the area of Montefalco. The name Scacciadiavoli comes from the name of an ancient village, which lies in close proximity of the company, where an exorcist (Scacciadiavoli) lived.
The winery was built in the second half of the nineteenth century and has been restored recently, rational and equipped with modern facilities. In the middle of the twentieth century, the grandfather of the current owners, Amilcare Zuccari, acquired the property.
The size of the company is of 130 hectares of surface, 35 out of which are invested in vine–growing, and the current production is of about 200,000 bottles, that will rise to about 250,000 when all the vineyards are in production.
The wines are typical of the area: Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG, dry and raisin versions, Montefalco Rosso DOC and Grechetto dell&rsquo,Umbria I.G.T. .
The conversion and development of the wine–growing area, now complete, includes the construction of the vineyards with at least 5,000 plants per hectare, targeted at achieving the best quality standards in the production of Montefalco Sagrantino, Montefalco Rosso and Grechetto dell’Umbria.
For some time, Spumante Brut Metodo Classico from Sagrantino grapes has been produced, too.
The Pambuffetti brothers are confident that the potential of the soil and the microclimate of the Scacciadiavoli company is enable to reach, thanks to the collaboration of experienced agronomists and winemakers, the pursuited results.
Thruster of that belief is the motto “Sola Fides” (great confidence) imprinted on the emblem that is on the front of the winery and on labels.
