Capezzana

Producer description of "Capezzana"

The "Tenuta di Capezzana" winery is located in the municipality of Carmignano (province of Prato) in the Italian region of Tuscany. A lease contract from the year 804 testifies that olive trees and vines were already cultivated in Capezzana 1200 years ago. The winery has a long and varied history with many owners. These included the Cantucci family, related to the Medici, Marchesi Bourbon del Monte, Adimari Morelli, Franchetti Rothschild and finally, since 1920, the Contini Bonacossi family. The oldest part of the buildings dates back to the 15th century, the villa and the wine cellar to the 16th century. Beatrice Contini Bonacossi is the sales manager, Franco Barnabei the oenologist and Benedetta Contini Bonacossi the winemaker.
