First boutique winery. The earliest records of the Farm are dated back to the end of the 15th century, during the Renaissance when Florence was under the rule of the Medici dynasty, led by Lorenzo il Magnifico. Around this time, the influential Capponi family built the farm, located about 25 km from Florence in a hilly area overlooking the gentle slopes of Chianti. From this elevated position comes the name “Poggio Capponi” (Capponi Hil), which has defined the Farm and its surrounding lands since its construction.
In the 1930s, Giuseppe Rousseau Colzi, a Florentine industrialist, purchased the property. During this time, the Fattoria was an ideal place for vacations and relaxation with family and friends, often featuring grand hunting trips and festive gatherings, while still maintaining its agricultural roots. After World War II, the Rousseau Colzi family continued managing the farm. Giuseppe was succeeded by his son Giovanni, who, along with his own son Michelangelo, revitalized the agricultural activities. It was also during this period that the agritourism business was established, which continues today under the care of Giovanni’s daughter, Gioconda Rousseau Colzi. This allows many visitors to experience the beauty of these stunning locations, nestled in the green valleys and gentle hills of Montespertoli.
The Farm has a dual character, both agricultural and ideal for vacation. Since its inception it has been a place for cultivating vines, olive trees and wheat.For generations farming families have worked this land. In the last century the production of wine and oil has taken precedence and continues to thrive today. For over than five hundred years, Poggio Capponi Farm has sood atop its promontory, overlooking the hills, woods, vineyards and olive groves, framed by one of most enchanting panoramas in Tuscany.
Second boutique winery. This family property has been owned by the Mugnaini family since the early 1950s, when Paolo Mugnaini purchased the farm. Le Masse has developed through the dynamic growth of the family.
Christiane, a painter from Berlin, brought an artistic touch to the wine farm, complementing her husband Alberto, her husband, a Tuscan dedicated to preserving traditional peasant practices. This new chapter began in 2006 and presented a challenge for a company rooted in the 1960s to evolve into a contemporary business.
Christiane's hand-painted labels, her focus on researching new products, and her charismatic drive to innovate while honoring classic methods have redefined the winery. In 2018, following the paths laid out by Alberto and Christiane, their son Robin took over management and introduced a new dimension: biodynamic agriculture.
The current focus centers on engaging in a dialogue with nature and listening to the unique landscape that has been discovered and is meant to be preserved over time. Le Masse has evolved into a hub for research, dialogue, and connection, respecting the present while valuing the future.
The heart of the winery, along with the family home, is located just outside the town of Barberino Val d’Elsa, where part of the vineyards, the winery, and the olive groves are situated.
