Capanna is a wine estate in Montalcino located in the Montosoli area, north of the town, long regarded as one of the territory’s most highly prized zones. It was born from the passion and dedication of Giuseppe Cencioni, supported by his sons Benito and Franco.

As early as the 1960s, the estate was bottling its own wines and, after the recognition of the DOC Brunello di Montalcino in 1966, Giuseppe Cencioni was one of the 25 founders of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. Production, initially just a few thousand bottles, grew with the planting of new vineyards to the current 25 hectares.

Capanna has always been run exclusively as a family operation: today it is in the hands of Patrizio and Amedeo, third and fourth generation, who personally oversee both viticulture and winemaking. The style remains faithful to the tradition handed down from father to son, with a constant eye to the future and ongoing investment.

All the vineyards lie within a 2-kilometer radius of the winery, in the Montosoli subzone, in a landscape of woods, vineyards and olive groves about 30 kilometers south of Siena. Capanna produces all the typical denominations of Montalcino: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Moscadello and Sant'Antimo, in addition to IGT wines, extra virgin olive oil and grappa.

In over sixty years of activity, Capanna has received numerous national and international accolades, remaining a benchmark for the most authentic Brunello di Montalcino.
