About the Producer
Established in 1957 by the Cencioni family, Capanna is recognized for making a substantive contribution to Montalcino’s early efforts for international recognition. Capanna honors this heritage in its stylistic orientation, which is informed by a traditionalist paradigm. Thus, while current owner Benito Cencioni’s sons, Patrizio and Francesco, have introduced a modern dimension, this is primarily exercised within an experimental context. Such a highly contained practice preserves Capanna’s defining values. In fact, the estate is considered to constitute a standard bearer for those seeking to preserve and safeguard Montalcino’s original conception of Brunello.
The Riserva bottling is aged for four years in Slavonian oak casks, followed by bottle maturation prior to release. Its formidable structure inherently conveys the wine’s capacity for long-term aging, marking its development through increased complexity. |
