The Capanna farming concern, property of the Cencioni family since 1957, lies to the north of Montalcino in the area of Montosoli. Held to be one of the best Brunello “crus”, it is still run today on an exclusively family basis, with advice from the enologist Paolo Vagaggini. The vineyards, which cover about 20 hectares, have been planted in the best areas of the farm, and are cared for with the passion and experience of generations of vine dressers.

Harvesting, done entirely by hand, is done so as to choose the grape bunches which are best suited for each kind of wine. Brunello di Montalcino comes from this selection, followed by ageing for four years in Slavonian oak casks. These become five years for the Brunello chosen to become Riserva (Reserve). Due to its long aging and the care and attention afforded to its production, Brunello di Montalcino is now considered to be one of the most precious and exclusive wines, to be matched with game, roast meat and seasoned cheese, but it is also an excellent wine all on its own.

The youngest Brunello vineyards produce Rosso di Montalcino. The other wines from our farm are Moxcadello di Montalcino- also known as Vendemmia Tardiva, Sant’Antimo and Rosso del Cerro. Besides making wine, the farm also makes grappa from Brunello and Moscadello and extra virgin olive oil from our own 8 hectares of olive groves. At the farm, you can taste and buy our products and also visit our wine cellars.
