A behind-the-scenes look at Capezzana: between innovation and tradition

Capezzana’s more formal sustainability journey began in 2009 and led to Bioagricert organic certification. Green manure returned to regular use, with legumes fixing nitrogen and adding organic matter, while light tractors reduced compaction and protected soil porosity. The estate describes natural pest regulation and tolerance of limited damage as “integrated respect.” The article also considers the historic-vintage cellar, the official 1716 delimitation of Carmignano, the 1926 family acquisition and the Renaissance villa, whose 1574 carvings overlay older foundations.
