The Origins Guardians of Excellence
More than 35 years ago we began devoting ourselves to the vineyard: we modernised it by planting new international varieties and focused on Maceratino Ribona, vinified on its own, enhancing its sapidity and freshness.
Morrovalle is a precious territory thanks to its unique microclimate, and we are the guardians of a tradition that spans millennia. We have always respected the environment, and today we produce under organic certification.
The Capinera estate lies in the heart of Morrovalle, a recognised "Città del Vino" (City of Wine), just a few kilometres from the breezes of the Adriatic Sea and sheltered by the Sibillini Mountains. The estate covers 40 hectares of land gently sloping towards the Chienti valley, facing south and blessed with an ideal microclimate which, since the 19th century – when Senator Giuseppe Tirelli first sensed its extraordinary vocation – has fostered outstanding viticulture. The soil is medium-textured, tending towards clay, with a good presence of limestone that enhances quality and structure.
Since the 1990s, the family's passion for producing important, high-quality wines, together with oenologist Giovanni Basso, has led to a complete renovation of the vineyards and the construction of the winery and barrel cellar, resulting today in an estate with a strong vocation for high-quality wine. Today the estate has 7.5 hectares of vineyards, with vines ranging from 1 year (the latest planting) to 35 years old.
Our wines reflect the authenticity and passion of our family: expressions full of personality, genuine and never predictable, crafted to delight the palate with every sip.
We farm our vineyards in accordance with organic certification. We grow native varieties (Maceratino-Ribona, Pecorino, Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Garofanata) and international ones (Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon). All vineyard work, from pruning to harvest, is carried out strictly by hand, with repeated passes between the rows to select only healthy, perfectly ripe bunches.
