Capezzana is a historic name for wine production; On these lands, wine is made from the Middle Ages, and a precious parchment found in the historic archive of Florence dated 804 d. C. that testifies to local agricultural production. With the Family Contini Bonacossi, famous collectors of ancient art and owners from the 1930s, an increasingly illuminated agriculture has gradually developed, today in a biological regime. Large investments for the restravelment of the structure, replanting the highly density screws and a very functional new cellar, were the fulcrum of the improvement process that brought the company to be among the most famous of Tuscany. The propensity for collecting has meant that they were preserved bottles of the best vintages produced, and so the luckiest can taste wines covering a thunderstorm of almost a century. To emphasize the "base" wine holding over time, the resinsures of the villa of Capezzana demonstrates it - this year it is up to 2009 - who annually the company releases on the market after a decade with a good peace of the most skeptical.
