Located in the Carmignano region of Tuscany, Tenuta di Capezzana boasts a winemaking history that spans over 3,000 years. The estate's roots trace back to 1475 when a visionary woman constructed the Casa de Signori and nine surrounding farmhouses, all planted with vines. Over the centuries, various families have managed the winery, and in 1920, it was acquired by the Contini Bonacossi family, who expanded the estate by purchasing two nearby farms, Trefiano and Il Poggetto.
Today, Tenuta di Capezzana comprises three farms dedicated to producing exceptional wines and olive oil.
Alessandro Contini Bonacossi's passion for wine collecting is reflected in the winery's impressive collection of vintages dating back to 1925. In 1945, Ugo transformed the winery into a modern enterprise, and his son Vittorio focused on transitioning the estate to organic farming practices. Currently, the winery is managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the family, with Beatrice overseeing sales and her sister Benedetta serving as the winemaker.
At Tenuta di Capezzana, organic farming methods are employed in the vineyards, where Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes thrive. The winery played a crucial role in reinstating the original “Carmignano” denomination, which was officially recognized in 1975, followed by the superior DOCG status in 1990. The wines produced here are a true representation of Carmignano, one of Tuscany's premier wine regions.

Write a reviewBusiness trip. What can I say, a wonderful visit that takes you back to the 19th century. A heritage that must be defended and made known Because there are very few realities like this in the area. I recommend you visit it, stay there in the establishment and enjoy some excellent meals. Because everything is wonderful.

Fantastic place surrounded by nature, we booked a trip "the estate experience". Upon arrival we met Lapo, a young dynamic and enterprising man who fascinated us and accompanied us during the day; he managed to convey his love for his territory making the day unforgettable, he transported us into the stories of the estate and the various vineyards making everything magical. Excellent quality of wine, I recommend it, we will definitely be back! And thanks again to Lapo.

Tour with tasting + lunch at their restaurant with panoramic terrace. The visit was very complete with very interesting historical curiosities (villa from 1500). The guide was exhaustive and at the same time fun making the visit very pleasant. Tasting of three wines, which took place on the wonderful panoramic terrace, probably a little too 'free' as there was no accompaniment during the tasting itself regarding an organoleptic analysis. We were surprised and delighted by a lunch with refined and quality raw materials, with particular contrasts and plating not left to chance, all surrounded by a breathtaking view. Overall a beautiful experience and one that I absolutely recommend.
