The company was founded in 1986, the year Luciano Lucchese decided to devote himself full-time to his passion: making wine from the grapes grown by his father Silvio, and by generations before him, in their estate in San Polo di Piave; here, their stock can be traced back to 1779, as the recently reconstructed family tree unquestionably demonstrates. 

The complete renovation of the vineyards also took place in those years: the traditional overhead wheel-spoke training (aka Bellussi) was gradually replaced by new systems allowing for a greater density of vines per hectare, and the cultivated surface was extended, reaching the 20 ha. of today's estate.

Another fundamental improvement was the change in the varieties of grapes cultivated: the number of so-called international vines of Bordeaux origin – such as Merlot and Chardonnay – was reduced to make room mainly for traditional local white-wine grapes, such as Pinot Grigio, Prosecco and Manzoni.

These white wines – and the evolution in the company's production processes – were what determined the company's success. A selection of local grapes was also purchased and transformed using the most modern wine-making techniques to meet the demands of a market increasingly appreciative of the bubbly Prosecco Doc Treviso, the fragrant Pinot Grigio and the native Manzoni Bianco.
The latter, recently introduced, and noted afresh in the last few years – along with Raboso Piave Doc and Raboso Passito – is a primary source of satisfaction for the company all the year round: through tending directly to the vineyards, managing the winery's activities and, above all, reinforcing its market presence through national and international fairs, exhibitions and wine-tasting events, Lucchese draws attention and appreciation to a fragment of Treviso's history and culture, invariably encountering the enthusiastic response of a public attracted to rare and unusual products of outstanding quality.

It must be noted that in 2008 the Company's former name “Az. Agr. Lucchese Silvio & Figli” was modified to include the trademark TenutaCapoest Lucchese: “Capoest” is the abbreviation of “campo a est” [East-side field], the name traditionally used to identify the property where the winery and the owners' homes now stand. This modification was introduced to avoid confusion with other products distributed in the large-scale retail trade with the sole name “Lucchese”.
