In 1974, amongst the hills overlooking Lake Bracciano, set in the picturesque Lazio countryside, the Capitani family decided to follow their passion for wine and the culture of wine making.
Francesco Capitani, founder of Trevignano Vino, established the first winery in the small town of Trevignano Romano.
The company embraces the full wine production cycle, from the grafting of the plant, through tending to the vines, the harvesting of the grapes, the vinification and bottling of the wine and finally to the marketing of the finished product.
He represents the first generation of winemakers in the family and run the business, with passion he had at and, above all, with a strong feeling of attachment to his land: these factors and values led him to try his own luck by creating his own business.
Following in the footsteps of his farming grandparents, Francesco Capitani began to be interested in the culture of wine production from an early age, and as his experience as a vine-grower and vine-lover grew, he became an expert in the old-fashioned sense. Since the company was founded there have been important collaborations with professional figures, such as an agronomist for advice on caring for vines and a winemaker for guidance with wine production, which the company relies on, sharing the same enthusiasm for their work. The company's original wines, still produced today were, a white "LacusTre Bianco" which is a blend of the native grapes Trebbiano and Malvasia and a red "LacusTre Rosso" a blend of the Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes. In the mid-2000s the second generation of the Capitani family embraced modern international wine production techniques, catapulting themselves into a new culture that reflects contemporary interests in the world of wine.
