ESTATE PHILOSOPHY

At present production processes are being changed: the estate is in the midst of a 'second vineyard reconstruction'. There is a return to denser planting, with from 6000 to 10,000 vines per hectare, as the latest machinery is suited to rows of vines planted close together.
The Capezzana 'philosophy' remains the same: to uphold traditions yet to keep improving, which means that the estate is more like a ship ploughing ahead than an immobile statue. 'One must not lose the identity of the wine or the characteristics of its production area, since tradition is the accumulation of innumerable improvements and innovations that have taken place over the centuries and have been passed down through the generations. We still believe that we should continue to "change for the better": this has always occurred and is made ever more possible by modern technology'. Ugo Contini Bonacossi continues,'‘This is our family’s philosophy, which derives from the passion which we put into our work. Together we try to make our mark in one of the most exciting and difficult professions'.
