Tenuta Di Capezzana

At Capezzana, art, culture, oil and wines celebrated over the centuries compose an inimitable fresco. Capezzana is the story of a family that for generations has passed on from father to son the love and passion for producing high quality wine and oil. The first to fall in love with this world were Vittoria and Alessandro Contini Bonacossi, who created one of the most important Art Collections of the 20th century: part of this collection can now be visited at the Uffizi museum in Florence. It is the most important donation after that of the Electress Palatina. Their refined taste continues to animate Capezzana, where statues, furnishings, ceramics and paintings make the villa a residence that still retains a Renaissance flavour. "A magnificent and unique land that we want to leave intact to future generations".

At Capezzana, time seems never to have passed: a unique place, where the production of oil and wine has been inextricably linked to the territory for more than 1200 years, as testified by a parchment dated 804, preserved in the State Archives. preserved in the State Archives of Florence. On the hills north-west of Florence, the estate covers 650 hectares, 80 of which are planted with vines and 140 with olive trees. The geographical location between Montalbano and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines determines the particular microclimate of Capezzana: hot summer days followed by cool nights, a well-distributed rainfall throughout the year and constant ventilation.
