Az. Agr. Capanna di Cencioni

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 recognised as an Italian appellation and after just 13 months, on April 27, 1967, Giuseppe became one of the 25 founding members of the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino. 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 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.
