History and Tradition with Capanna of Montalcino

On our second episode of a two part series on Montalcino, Mark interviews Daniele Marcone the Sales Director of Capanna Winery.  Capanna is located north of the town of Montalcino in the unofficial sub-region of Montosoli and is one of the more historic and traditional wineries producing Brunello.  The Cencioni family was one of the first share-cropping families to save up enough money to purchase the land they were working for generations.  Throughout the years, they have followed the Consorzio and bet on the success of the territory acquiring new land and leading the way with a more traditional style of wine.  This is a must-see stop to both the winery and their restaurant if you're visiting Montalcino: Capanna Winery Website Capanna Suites and Restaurant Jessica's article on the new Brunello rating system, FORMA
