Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €22.00
The ATRIVM farm is located in the town of San Giovanni d'Asso, adjacent to the Brunello's territory, in the province of Montalcino. The farm was built on the ruins of a medieval hamlet and has always been dedicated to the cultivation of vines and the production of wine. The farm has a territory of 100.000 m², of which 30.000 are dedicated to DOC Orcia vineyards and 20.000 to olive groves. This area is also dotted with colorful beehives for beekeeping. In the sixties, the farm was among the first wineries to test the use of row vines for the vineyard, thanks to grandfather Argante's ability to combine the centennial local tradition and innovative viticultural theories. Another of Argante's merits was to pass on his passion for the land to his sons and grandsons, above all Emilio, the current manager: after graduating, at the end of an education based on enology, agronomy, zootechnics, biology and chemistry, he decided to apply his theoretical knowledge to manage the farm and to succeed, like his grandfather, in improving it without undermining the quality of the products.

Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €90.00
The spirit of Sanlorenzo lies in the dreams that gave it life and continue to fuel its growth every day. Sanlorenzo is rooted in the traditions of Montalcino and its renowned Brunello, yet it also embraces technology, research, and experimentation. Above all, Sanlorenzo values authenticity and respect for hard work, qualities reflected in the exceptional wines it produces and the simplicity of the people behind them. It was in the late 19th century when Lorenzo Ferretti, who lived in a farmhouse in the hills to the South-West of Montalcino, decided to buy some land where he could build a house. The place was called Rogarelli, and it was here that he started his family; he had 7 children, including Guido. Guido Ferretti married Teresina Caselli and they had two children; Bramante and Giovanni.   The sun rises early that day, and sets late for the grape pickers at Sanlorenzo, but in the end, everyone, even the vines, will have their deserved, if short lived, rest.
