La Cappuccina

Estate story

Since 1890, the Tessari family has been producing wine at the La Cappuccina estate in Costalunga di Monteforte d’Alpone, in the heart of the Soave DOC area east of Verona.

For more than a century, this family-run estate has been deeply rooted in a territory historically devoted to viticulture, where tradition and a strong sense of place continue to guide every decision.

The estate takes its name from a beautifully restored 17th-century chapel adjoining Villa Buri-Tessari, once a place of worship for Capuchin friars.

This historic building remains the most distinctive architectural feature of the property, and its silhouette has become the emblem of La Cappuccina, symbolizing the winery’s connection to history, culture, and landscape.

Today, the estate is led by the fourth generation of the Tessari family.

Sisto, an agronomist with a degree from the University of Padua, oversees vineyard management and international markets; Pietro, a trained oenologist from the Conegliano School of Winemaking, is responsible for cellar operations; and Elena, with a degree in Economics and Business, manages marketing and public relations.
