Founded over a century ago, the Tessari family’s La Cappuccina estate is located in Costalunga di Monteforte d’Alpone, the heart of the Soave, in the province of Verona. The name of the estate comes from a small private 15th century chapel where the Capucin monks once celebrated religious services. At the present time, siblings Sisto, Pietro and Elena Tessari run the 94 acre estate, each playing a different role in the management of the winery. All of the different phases of the production cycle, from the vineyard to the bottling line, are carried out in observance of the rules of biodynamic cultivation, under the supervision of the Istituto Mediterraneo di Certificazione. They are also organically certified.
