The Contini Bonacossi family: a history of wine and passion

The article follows Capezzana from its ancient agricultural roots through the Contini Bonacossi purchase and Alessandro’s programme of expansion and modernisation. Ugo guided the estate through the end of sharecropping and its evolution into a modern agricultural enterprise. Benedetta took a central role in wine production, Beatrice led the farm and Filippo contributed an entrepreneurial and market perspective. During the pandemic, online seminars, virtual tastings and digital tours helped maintain contact with customers. New production ideas, water conservation and carbon-footprint reduction form part of the recent programme.
