Montecappone

Montecappone is located in Jesi, within the Marche region of Italy, specialising in the production of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. Founded in the late 1960s, the winery was acquired in 1997 by the Bomprezzi-Mirizzi family, who are renowned for owning the Enoteca Tuscolana in Rome.

The Montecappone property currently stretches over 54 hectares of vineyards and 12 hectares of olive groves that are scattered amongst the hills and castles of beautiful Jesi. The focus in the vineyard centers on low yields, careful selection of grapes, and respect for this beautiful land. Mr. Mirizzi is intent on showcasing terroir through collaboration with all who work with him: consultants, agronomists, and wine experts.
