Capanna

Capanna Winery, owned by the Cencioni family since 1957, is located in the Montosoli area north of Montalcino. Giuseppe Cencioni, born in 1906, was one of the founding fathers of modern-day Brunello. In fact, in 1964, he bottled Brunello di Montalcino for the first time. Two years later, in 1966, DOC Brunello di Montalcino was recognized as an Italian appellation and after just 13 months, on April 27, 1967, Giuseppe became one of the 25 founding members of the Brunello di Montalcino Wine Consortium. 

Capanna Winery has always been a family-run company and that tradition continues today with Patrizio and Amedeo Cencioni, the founder’s grandson and great-grandson, who are currently at the helm. They are respectively the third and fourth generation who, with passion and an entrepreneurial spirit, run the estate and continue to add new business activities. Production, initially a few thousand bottles, gradually increased with the planting of new vineyards, reaching its current 25 hectares, all farmed and certified organic.
