The vineyards, cellers and all wine making equipment were developed towards the end of the 1960s, with progressive adaptation and constant up dating of both the land and the cellars. Innovative cultivation systems and, in particular, several clones are still experienced today on the estates extending over an area of 190 hectares comprising 85 hectares of vineyards, 4 of olive groves, 87 of woodlands and 14 of sowable land.

Caparzo aims to ensure top quality products through meticulous, craftsmanlike techniques while equality taking a modern approach to management, an efficiency and business relationships. More that thirty years have passed since the first rows were planted in the vineyards and the various local terrors, at the same time as enhancing its wines with creative sprit and dedication to innovation as a means of ensuring the highest possible quality. This is why wines are served by the most famous restaurants in the world, as well as at international meetings and on official State occasions.
