Capanna Winery, owned by the Cencioni family since

1957, is located in the Montosoli area north of Montalcino.

Giuseppe Cencioni, born in 1906, was one of the founding

fathers of modern-day Brunello. In fact, in 1964, he bottled

Brunello di Montalcino for the first time. Two years later,

in 1966, DOC Brunello di Montalcino was recognized as

an Italian appellation and after just 13 months, on April 27,

1967, Giuseppe became one of the 25 founding members

of the Brunello di Montalcino Wine Consortium.

Beginning in the 1970s, the Capanna wines have been

exported to Europe, Canada, Japan, the United States and

other destinations for a total of 20 countries. Every year,

clients near and far continue to appreciate and request

vintages produced by the winery.

Capanna Winery has always been a family-run company

and that tradition continues today with Patrizio and Amedeo

Cencioni, the founder’s grandson and great-grandson,

who are currently at the helm. They are respectively the

third and fourth generation who, with passion and an

entrepreneurial spirit, run the estate and continue to add

new business activities.
