Information:

Alessandro Contini Bonacossi and his wife Vittoria bought the Estate In 1922. The first vintage in the cellar was the Villa di Capezzana 1925. The new generation following the footsteps of Count Ugo, the founding father of Carmignano DOCG, has now taken the reins of the Tenuta Di Capezzana, continuing to produce excellent wines, as has always been done on the estate.
Carmignano is a small Tuscan area, where wine was produced since Etruscan times. it is also the Smallest Tuscan DOCG, recognized since the 1990 vintage, it’s one of the world’s first four appellations recognized in 1716 by the Grand Duke of Tuscany. 

Environmental methods are used at Capezzana as natural deterrents against grapes and olive pests, to avoiding the use of chemicals. Sustainable farming practices include exclusively organic fertilizers and the complete elimination of herbicides. Capezzana’s vineyards all face different directions and are characterized by incredibly diversified types of soil: Clay, Limestone, Schist and Marl. If you’re looking for the magic formula which makes their wines so special, you’ll find it in the great diversity of each vineyard’s soil and orientation that create extreme and fantastic biodiversity.

Wine making:

The novelty and the bet of the company; produced for the first time in 2000 with the aim of relaunching the Trebbiano grape in Tuscany. From a mass selection, a short pruning, a severe green harvest and a late harvest, Capezzana obtains a very rich must, which ferments and ages in tonneaux, acquires elegant perfumes and lends itself to long aging.
