We visited this winery on our Gusto Wine Tour! This is a beautiful family run winery with excellent wines. They were very creative in coming up with unique art for their used wine barrels.We had lunch there which was superb! The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. We are now enjoying a bottle of their le tese (Umbria Bianca) at home.

Wow! After you visit Paolo and his winery, you will leave feeling like family. They take such pride in their work and treat every guest with respect and great care. We visited Paolo just after quarantine ended in Italy. We arranged a tasting and lunch to take away. They organized the entire lunch and had it well packaged when we arrived. They also created a separate menu for a vegetarian couple in the group. We had such a wonderful experience that We will be back this fall (and hopefully many times after that) Everything from the home-cooked meal by his mother, the wine and the olive oil were fantastic and high quality. Thank you Paolo and family. A presto.

Bocale Vini

The philosophy of BocaleThe Valentinis’ family has been linked by history and personal experiences to the City of Montefalco for over one hundred years. The background is the special Umbrian region, full of history and culture, where the act of every farmer is full of folk wisdom, simplicity, passion and sacrifice. The philosophy is influenced by the histories of men working in the fields, surrounded by the hilly landscape of rare beauty, where vines encircle the round forms of the earth.Since 2002, the Valentini family has returned to revitalize this environmental and cultural heritage creating Bocale, a company created to build on that old passion for wine passed down through the generations. Bocale is the dialect term used to indicate the two-liter jug of wine or oil, but, above all, the name by which this Montefalco family has always been known.

We were staying near by, had one of the Antonelli wines for dinner and wanted to check out the winery. We dropped in with no appointment or reservation and the staff was very accommodating! We told them that we had experienced the wine the night before and had even had a recommendation from a Texas winemaker to come and check out the wine! They tasted us through the wines and the winemaker even came out and talked to us. Go check it out! I would recommend a reservation/appointment to avoid a bus tour or large group. We ordered a mixed case which was packed very well and we are enjoying back home in Texas!

Azienda Agraria Scacciadiavoli

Scacciadiavoli is one of the oldest winery in the area of Montefalco. The name can be traced back to an episode of exorcism of the 17th century, reported by Johannes de Rupescissa in the Treaty on the Quintessence. The story tells about a young woman possessed by the devil, to which an exorcist give her drink the local red wine, succeeding in drive out the devil. The event gave its name to the village, still exists, appropriately called Scacciadiavoli. In the mid-nineteenth century, Prince Ugo Boncompagni Ludovisi built the winery, which is still functional and rational; From that moment, given the monumental size of the building, the site is called Localita Cantinone (large cellar). In the middle of the twentieth century, the grandfather of the current owners, Amilcare Pambuffetti, acquired ownership of the company, which covers an area of one hundred and thirty acres, of which twenty vineyards.

Came here with some friends in December while visiting one of them (they have a house out here). This was one of her most highly recommended things to do, and I can see why. The food they put on was spectacular, the tour was fantastic and educational (I know a lot about the process and I still learned something), and the wine tasting was great. The reds are some of the best I've ever had. Can't recommend this place highly enough. If you're in the area definitely go and check it out!

Complesso Museale di San Francesco

Reviewed By KatrinaMolini - Corciano, Italy

We visited this amazing church last Sunday. It was raining at the beginning and we had basically a private visit, just two of us, me and my husband. I’m not sure if it was due to weather... but I have a feeling that it’s not so crowded on a regular basis. The ladies at the desk were very nice. We purchased our tickets and went downstairs. Entrance is €7 euros per person but you can use these tickets to enter other museums & churches in the region that are a part of Umbria Terre Musei (they are valid for two weeks). The church is incredible!!! It has so many interesting and beautiful frescoes! We heard about this place during our visit of Arnaldo Caprai and we wanted to find the frescoes with Petrarca, Dante & Giotto that were used for the winery’s special Sagrantino (bottles’ labels portrayed those famous figures in modern interpretation of the local artist). Those images are located in the apse, which by itself is stunning, and done entirely by Gozzoli. There is another notable work in the church - beautiful fresco by Il Perugino. But the rest is all amazing and fascinating too. I’m a big fan of frescoes. We spent 40 minutes inside admiring all of this incredible art. The building was constructed in the 14th century, frescoes were done mainly in the 14-16th centuries. Some are badly ruined but it makes you feel the time and wonder how they looked before. Spectacular place that we deeply enjoyed visiting and highly recommend for everyone who comes to Montefalco.
