Enoteca Compagnia Dei Vinattieri

Tenuta di Capezzana

In Carmignano vines have been cultivated already in the pre–Roman era, about 3,000 years ago, as evidenced by vases for wine and tasting cups found in Etruscan tombs.

In the archives of the state in Florence, a parchment dated 804 has been found: it is a lease contract which provides documentary evidence that already 1,200 years ago in Capezzana vines and olive trees were cultivated for the production of oil and wine.

In the early Renaissance a woman, Monna Nera Bonaccorsi, built the first “Casa dei Signori” and nine farm houses with their planting of vineyards. Other generations and families have come and gone in the grounds of the estate: the Cantucci, related with the Medici family, who for over 150 years have owned and improved the company. In particular, Maria Maddalena Cantucci, married in 1734 to the Marquis Bourbon del Monte, purchased new lands increasing the number of farms, created new vineyards and built a new largest winery and other corporate buildings. Its perfect administration is witnessed by account books – yet in the archive of Capezzana – where all is annotated with precision.

Alessandro Contini Bonacossi bought Trefiano and the farm of Poggetto from the Marquis Amman Niccolini bringing the number of homesteads to 125. A new vat cellar was built, designed by the architect Michelucci, the area cultivated with vines was brought to 100 hectares, and wine and oil was exported all over the world.

The structure of the soil results from the disintegration of alberese and sandstone rocks, and is very rich in stones, so that the wine of Fonterutoli is often called “the wine of the stones”. Hence, the choice of an environmentally friendly cultivation and of a production of less than 40 hectoliters per hectare, ensuring a very high quality and a personality that is always very strong and recognizable.

Lovers of viticulture and skilled entrepreneurs, Domenico and his son Giuseppe modernized the management of the country without abandoning the spirit of tradition. Within a few years, the hectares of vine became more than forty and they also changed the essence and the organization of the company. In the second half of the seventies, his son–in–law Giuseppe Mazzocolin entered the company with the task to develop commercially the company. His humanistic culture and his awareness of the responsibility of man in his work contributed to the growth of the culture of wine in Italy and abroad, obtaining his first international recognition.

Under the guidance of Domenico and Giuseppe Poggiali, a path begins, that since 1990 sees even Giovanni Poggiali as protagonist, the first of the three children of Giuseppe.
