Visiting Avignonesi means stepping into a living agricultural ecosystem

We offer tastings, vineyard walks and experiences that invite you to listen to the place.

Le Capezzine is home to the vinsantaia, the restaurant and spaces dedicated to guests. Here, agriculture, architecture and hospitality follow the same rhythm: that of the seasons.

Le Capezzine is the heart of Avignonesi

Founded in the 19th century as a model farm by the philanthropist and scientist Angelo Vegni, they now represent a place where agriculture, architecture and hospitality coexist in balance.


Set in the countryside of Montepulciano, Le Capezzine is a living ecosystem that reflects the vision of the estate: an agricultural place before a productive one, where wine begins with listening to the land, respect for time and an idea of beauty rooted in care and responsibility.

Single Vineyards

Upon entering Le Capezzine, guests gain access to our Single Vineyards wines, produced in small quantities from experimental vineyards such as La Tonda, as well as from high-quality sites from which we select the finest grapes.

Some of these wines are included in the Tasting and Grand Experience programs.

  • El Grasso Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana

    El Grasso is a wine that plays on the balance between freshness and opulence, moving with the syncopated rhythm of a jazz concert.

  • La Banditella Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana

    La Banditella shows a scarlet-red hue of elegant transparency. On the nose, the varietal identity of pure Sangiovese emerges, with a clear bouquet where the freshness of cherry blends with deeper notes of dried plum.

  • La Stella Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana

    The aromatic profile of La Stella opens with a delicate bouquet of small red berries, in which raspberry and redcurrant emerge with clarity.

  • La Tonda Toscana I.G.T. Sangiovese

    La Tonda was planted in 1990 as an experiment to study the effects of vine training methods and planting density.

  • Le Badelle Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana

    The olfactory profile of Le Badelle is an enveloping mosaic of ripe fruit, with prominent notes of black cherry and warm hints of jam, complemented by an elegant floral weave and an intriguing spicy evolution.

  • Oceano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana

    The aromatic profile of Oceano is dominated by an evolved maturity, where notes of dried plums intertwine with a refined bouquet of sweet spices and delicate hints of vanilla.
