Our family purchased the Tenuta Capezzana property in 1926, although the cultivation of vines and olive trees in Capezzana dates back to the Etruscan era. In 1947, the son of Cesare Alessandro Contini Bonacossi, Augusto Alessandro, was joined by his firstborn Ugo, a veteran of the war and a graduate in agriculture, who gradually transformed Capezzana from a sharecropping farm to a modern agricultural company.
Ugo, a man of other times but with broad views, enthusiastically welcomed the entry of his children, extolling their personal qualities. The fourth generation is today represented by Beatrice, Filippo and Benedetta who, together with their grandchildren Ettore, Gaddo and Serena, manage the Tenuta di Capezzana.
The first bottle of Vinsanto di Carmignano was produced in 1925.
In recent years, the 2013, 2014 and 2105 vintages of Vinsanto di Carmignano have received numerous awards.
