Sanlorenzo

Dreams of Life in the Winemaking World

The spirit of Sanlorenzo resides in the dreams that gave you life and make you grow, every day. Sanlorenzo is a pure winemaking tradition, the characteristics of Montalcino and its famous Brunello wine, but it is also technology, research, and experimentation. Most of all, Sanlorenzo is authenticity and respect for hard work. The awareness of its values is expressed in the great wines it produces and in the simplicity of the people, which creates trust. Sanlorenzo is an open outlook toward the future..

A Winery with a Great History in Tuscany, Italy

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. His 7 children and his grandchildren continued to live at Rogarelli but the farmhouse was too small for them all and so in 1950 Guido and his family decided to purchase another piece of land and establish their farm, they bought some land that bordered Rogarella from the Argiano estate. When it came to giving it a name, they decided to call it Sanlorenzo in memory of their grandfather.

In 1972, Fiorella married Paolo Ciolfi from Val d’Orcia, thereby giving fresh impetus to Sanlorenzo, they decided to focus on rearing livestock and built a modern barn, but at the same time they began planting a modern vineyard, one in 1972 and another in 1992, but the grape production was sold to other wineries.

Sanlorenzo, A Story of Wines and Family

Paolo and Fiorella had three children; Luciano, Luciana, and Luca. After completing their studies, Luciano and Luciana went their separate ways; the former went to work for a winery in Montalcino, and Luciana got married and moved to Cinigiano. In 1997, Luciano, in the euphoria surrounding the boom in Montalcino and Brunello, returned to work at Sanlorenzo, deciding to take it down what seemed to be the best road; that of wine production. Five hectares of new vineyards were planted, the farm closed in 2000 and it began to operate as a winery. The first year to be produced was 2003.
Bramante died in 2016, by now 101 years and six months old, and in the same year, Luciana returned to take her place at Sanlorenzo.
