i. Biography
Across that arc, the work moves from vineyards to cellar choices to bottles identified with the estate, including Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Crocus Riserva, and Acantho.
Early Years
The beginning was not a distant apprenticeship or a sequence of outside posts. That first role keeps the craft close to land, family, and repetition. The same address that introduced him to the business remains the place tied to his present responsibility, giving his career a clear line rather than a scatter of chapters.
Making a Name
The exception is the reserve, where fermentation partly takes place in tonneau, a specific distinction within the estate’s method rather than a broad stylistic claim.
The Present
It is a role that points back to the vineyard before it reaches the bottle: the agricultural decisions, the growing side of the family business, and the continuity of work at the same estate where his collaboration with his father began. The present, then, is not a reinvention but an arrival shaped by years at one property.
Signature
Lorenzo's signature wines include Crocus Riserva, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, and Acantho.
