A few years ago the fourth generation of the family joined the activities (Amilcare, Iacopo, Liù, Romeo and Fiammetta). As it stands, the dimensions of the property are of 130 Ha of which 40 Ha are dedicated to grapevines.

The Scacciadiavoli wine cellar is named after an exorcist who lived on the edge of the current property and used the local wine for his rituals. Conceived and founded by Prince Ugo Boncompagni Ludovisi as a wine 'establishment' in 1884, the Scacciadiavoli winery was, even then, an impressive and very modern wine complex. In 1954, Amilcare Pambuffetti, at the age of 71, acquired the Scacciadiavoli estate, the same estate where he had worked as a boy, around the age of 14, as a helper. When he died in 1977, his sons Alfio, Settimio and Mario carried on their father's business. In 2000, the Pambuffetti brothers (Francesco, Carlo, and Amilcare), Settimio's sons, took over the oldest winery in the area, in accordance with ancient tradition.

From 1884 to the present day, the Scacciadiavoli winery has never stopped producing wine, even though in the year 2000 it underwent extensive renovations, aimed at preserving and conserving all the original structural and architectural elements and introducing modern equipment and technology. The entire structure of the cellar rests gently on the Umbrian hillside and, thanks to the vertical structure on four levels, one of which is underground, all wine production takes place by gravity.
