…quel prode Ettorre,
Che fra’ trojàni eroi di generosi
Cavalli agitatori, era il primiero…
Iliade, Libro VI, versi 603-605
Art passed down transformed into labour in the vineyard
Man’s authentic passion meets a challenge for his innate vocation in his encounter with a mysteriously powerful and wild nature. This is how Masseria Capoforte was fashioned. From Ettore’s passion for grape growing, from his love for the traditions of an age-old art that celebrates the partnership between nature’s generosity and man’s determined ability.

The ancient Venetian Ceschin family owns the entire estate, according to the plan of Ettore, enlightened businessman who, even with his name, renders honour to the noble ideals and resolute strength of the hero of the ancient Greek epic poem.
