Already in the 60s the family began to bottle their wines and, after the DOC recognition of Brunello di Montalcino in 1966, Giuseppe was one of the 25 founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino.
The production, initially of a few thousand bottles, has subsequently increased with the planting of new vineyards up to the current 25 hectares.
Capanna has always been run exclusively at a family level. Today it is in the hands of Patrizio and Amedeo, representatives of the third and fourth generation who personally take care of the oenological and agronomic part of the cellar. Capanna has always maintained a production style in line with the tradition, handed down from generation to generation. Read more
