OUR HISTORY

The story of Villa Schinosa is rooted in ancient winemaking traditions passed down through generations. True to this philosophy, we are members of the Federazione dei Vignaioli Indipendenti, preserving a close connection between our vineyards, our wines, and our family.

In 1960, Don Ferdinando Capece Minutolo of the Dukes of San Valentino began modernizing Villa Schinosa, bringing generations of experience into a new era of winemaking. A passionate sailor and shipowner, he passed on both his love for this land and his passion for the sea to his son, Corrado.

Corrado Capece Minutolo has led Villa Schinosa since 2010. Following his father’s passing in 2019, he renewed his commitment to the family estate, overseeing its winemaking, bottling, and commercial relationships in Italy.

The noble coat of arms and its rampant lion have long distinguished Villa Schinosa. But at the heart of everything we produce are three values that define who we are:

TRADITION,  INNOVATION AND PASSION.

TRADITION

Tradition is manifested in the hereditary transmission of our know-how from father to son, ensuring rigorous control at every stage of production and transformation, from the vineyard to the bottle. Our dedication is reflected in the exclusive selection and vinification of the grapes grown on our lands, guaranteeing a product that embodies the purity and integrity of our tradition.

INNOVATION

For us, innovation is a path distinct from globalization, focused on the use of cutting-edge production processes and the involvement of a young and qualified team. This approach allows us to oversee the entire production chain while promoting the cultural growth of consumers, both Italian and international, towards our highly prized Apulian wines.

PASSION

Passion is the cornerstone that animates our work, allowing us to infuse our products with a distinctive Italian style that is increasingly appreciated by our clientele. This commitment translates into a tangible reward, expressed in the superior quality and uniqueness of the products we create, a result we recognize as the fruit of our love for winemaking.
