About Capogiro

Le Chiantigiane was founded with the intention of preserving, promoting, and selling only the finest Tuscan wines around the globe. The wineries of Le Chiantigiane are a priceless heritage, spanning over 2,460 acres. 2,000 associated winegrowers in Tuscany joined together through cooperative vineyards to form the Consortium Le Chiantigiane, where their wines are bottled and sold to the public. As a result of its success in Tuscany, Le Chiantigiane began working with other areas of Italy in the late 1990s. These other regions included Abruzzo, Umbria, Sardinia, and Marche.
