Capezzana

Set among the gentle hills of Carmignano, Capezzana is one of Tuscany's most historic wine estates, with a winemaking tradition that stretches back over 1,200 years. Although it is the largest producer within the tiny Carmignano DOCG, the estate has retained the warmth and character of a true family property. Today, it is lovingly managed by multiple generations of the Contini Bonacossi family, whose hands-on involvement ensures that every aspect of the winery reflects their deep respect for the land and its extraordinary heritage.

Capezzana is a proud guardian of Carmignano's unique winemaking tradition, one that predates many of Tuscany's more famous appellations. As early as the 17th century, the Medici family recognised the exceptional quality of these vineyards and encouraged the blending of local Sangiovese with Cabernet—grape varieties brought from France centuries before the birth of the modern Super Tuscans. Today, Capezzana continues this historic legacy, producing elegant Carmignano DOCG wines that beautifully combine freshness, structure and remarkable ageing potential.

Alongside its flagship Carmignano, the estate is also renowned for its acclaimed Super Tuscan Ghiaie della Furba, a refined blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, as well as one of Tuscany's finest Vin Santos. The family also cultivates centuries-old olive groves, producing outstanding extra virgin olive oil from traditional Tuscan varieties including Frantoio and Moraiolo.

A visit to Capezzana is an unforgettable journey through Tuscan history. Guests explore magnificent historic cellars, stroll through the beautiful estate and discover a winery where centuries of tradition continue to thrive alongside a modern commitment to quality. It is a place where history is not simply preserved—it is lived every day, making Capezzana one of the true icons of Carmignano and Tuscany as a whole.
