A long-lasting tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation: in the Sixties Sergio Capezzuoli and his wife Paola opened a workshop were they butchered fresh meat and prepared own-produced cold cuts.
Twenty years later, the Capezzuoli family opened a new shop in the picturesque historical centre of San Gimignano; with the help of their daughters, Antonella and Roberta, and their son-in-low Mauro, they specialized in fine-quality products and they are still producing them with constant enthusiasm and care.
In those same years, away back in 1979, the Capezzuoli family got involved in the agricultural history of San Gimignano, and founded Azienda Agricola La Buca di Montauto, that has proudly remained a family-run business.
The working farm produces and sells directly (in the shop situated in Via San Giovanni 16, San Gimignano) its own Vernaccia of San Gimignano D.O.C.G. and Chianti Colli Senesi D.O.C.G. , Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Pork and Wild Boar Salumi, a feather in their cap.
In 2000, after acquiring experience at the head of La Buca di Montauto, Antonella Capezzuoli and Mauro Ghini eventually opened their lovely agriturismo, where you can spend an unforgettable and relaxing holiday.
