Societa Agricola Capanna

Capanna (officially Azienda Agricola Capanna di Cencioni) is a family-owned winery located in the Montosoli area, in the northern part of the Montalcino appellation in Tuscany.

The Cencioni family has owned the estate since 1957, when Giuseppe Cencioni purchased a plot of land with a simple woodland shelter (capanna in Italian, from which the winery takes its name). Initially producing small quantities of wine, the estate gradually expanded to its current size of approximately 25 hectares of vineyards. Today, the winery is run by Patrizio and Amedeo Cencioni, representing the third and fourth generations, who are directly involved in vineyard management and winemaking.

Capanna was among the 25 founding members who helped establish the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino following the granting of Brunello DOCG status in 1966.

The winery has preserved its traditional rural character, with parts of the cellar housed in historic village-style buildings that have been carefully restored and adapted for modern winemaking. Fermentation takes place in traditional truncated-conical oak vats, particularly for Sangiovese-based wines such as Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. Temperature control systems and automated pumping equipment are also used where precision is required.
