Since the early 1900s, the Contini Bonacossi family has been caring with daily dedication for the enchanting lands of the Capezzana Estate and the fruits it seasonally produces. Our family is the custodian of our land, where the roots of the art of cultivating vines and olive trees go back thousands of years. It is a precious tradition to lovingly produce wine and oil that tell of a wonderful land to be respected in order to leave it intact for future generations. Our family acquired the property of Tenuta Capezzana in 1926, although the cultivation of vines and olive trees in Capezzana dates back to Etruscan times. In 1947, Cesare Alessandro Contini Bonacossi’s son, Augusto Alessandro, was joined by his eldest son Ugo, who returned from the war with a degree in agriculture. Ugo gradually transformed Capezzana from a sharecropping farm into a modern agricultural estate. Ugo, a man of another era but with broad vision, enthusiastically welcomed the entry of his children, praising their individual qualities. The fourth generation is now represented by Beatrice, Filippo, and Benedetta, who, together with their grandchildren Ettore, Gaddo, and Serena, manage Tenuta di Capezzana.
