Vines have been cultivated in Carmignano since pre-Roman era as the wine jars and tasting cups found in Etruscan tombs testify. In 1475, during the early Renaissance, Monna Nera Bonaccorsi built the first Nobleman's House along with with the wine-making buildings. Other generations and families were to follow in the ownership of the property: the Cantucci, the Marchesi Bourbon del Monte, Franchetti and Rothschild and finally the Contini Bonacossi, our family, in 1920.
