Sanlorenzo

Winery in Montalcino, Val d'Orcia, Crete Senesi

About the Winery

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.

About the Wines

- Brunello di Montalcino: Vinified in stainless steel vats and aged in wooden barrels, this wine is a deep garnet red with a generous bouquet of dry flowers, spices, and ripe fruit. It offers a well-structured body, perfectly extracted tannins, and a long finish. Ideal with game, Fiorentina and Tagliata steak, and aged pecorino cheese.

- Rosso di Montalcino: Vinified in steel tanks, then aged in old barriques of various sizes to achieve optimal balance. It offers fresh aromas of ripe cherry with subtle wood notes, making it balanced and elegant on the palate. Best paired with red meat dishes and cheeses.

- Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Bramante: This Riserva is produced only in exceptional years from the best grapes, aged for over two years in medium-sized wooden casks, and then bottled in its fourth year. It rests in the bottle until January of the sixth year after harvest, offering a rich, complex character.

- Rosato IGT Toscana: Made in small quantities from Sangiovese grapes, this rosé has a cheerful onion-skin color and a fresh nose with green notes. The palate is fruity, with cherry and other red fruits, offering a rich and intense mouthfeel with pleasant acidity and a long, fresh finish.

Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino Tasting
Right from the start, Luciano was very helpful and easy-going, explaining to us in great detail the journey the grape takes, from the moment it is planted, to the moment it becomes wine, right up until it's bottled.
We then tasted some delicious wines produced by the SanLorenzo Winery, accompanied by delicious Tuscan cured meats.

Highly recommend
We had a lovely time for the tour and tasting. Luciano was so helpful with booking and with connecting us with other wine makers during our trip. The wines were fantastic and the tasting included vintages back to 2010.

The vineyard is gorgeous and the whole staff so friendly.

Superlative
The owner is very knowledgeable and precise in his explanations, after a nice tour of the vineyards and the clean and very tidy cellars we tasted 6 wonderful wines from excellent vintages, accompanied by accurate descriptions. Recommended for refined palates who prefer a journey into niche flavors rather than a mere tourist opportunity to have a drink and lunch.

Excellent Brunello Wine Tasting
We had a very nice wine tasting with excellent wines and an outstanding sausage and cheese platter.

A great insight into the production and history of Brunello was provided.

We especially liked that this is a very small and family-run winery.

Excellent tour with lovely host
We had a very informative tour of the site . We saw each part of the wine making process and Ivan , our host, was happy to answer all our questions. His English was excellent and we learned a lot.
The wine tasting experience was very enjoyable. We found it difficult to pick a favourite. The accompanying food was high quality and included olive oil prepared on site.
We would definitely recommend visiting this independent vineyard that clearly understands good wine.

Great experience with the producers
It was really great. I’ve been there with my family and was warm welcomed by Ivan and Luciano. We’ve learned about the region, how the grapes are produced and a little bit about the process. I didn’t have any idea about how to produce wines in details and most of the doubts were answered. In the end, we had a chance to taste 5 different wines, starting with Montalcino Rosso and then with the Brunello’s family. It was really great and, of course, I had a chance to buy some bottles of Brunellos! Recommend a lot, specially because we’ve paid for the visit a lower price than in the Fontezza, but with a better experience, straight from the producers.
Maintain the same humble hospitality. This make the difference with a kind of familiar approach.
