On the route from Bevagna to Bastardo, a hamlet of Gualdo Cattaneo, you come across the Scacciadiavoli estate, founded in 1884 by Prince Ugo Boncompagni – Ludovisi. The name Scacciadiavoli comes from the nickname of an exorcist, who lived in a village bordering the property. Legend has it that one day he was entrusted with a young woman who seemed possessed, to free her from the devil. He tried using his formulas and infusions, but failing in his intent, as a last resort, he made her drink some local red wine, making her drunk. The young woman came to her senses. It was the exorcist’s wine that had freed her from the devil. Over time, the village where the exorcist had lived was also called Scacciadiavoli and so was the territory of the area and the cellar. It is one of the oldest companies in the “Montefalco” territory. The cellar was built in the second half of the 19th century, when Prince Boncompagni left Rome to dedicate himself to wine production. Excellent wine!!
