The story of Sanlorenzo begins in the late 19th century, when Lorenzo Ferretti settled in Rogarelli, southwest of Montalcino, and started a family that would remain tied to the land for generations. In 1950, his son Guido purchased neighbouring land from the Argiano estate, naming it SanLorenzo in his grandfather’s honour. Life in the countryside was challenging, but Guido’s son Bramante and his wife Adele chose to stay, sustaining the farm through livestock, olive trees, and a small vineyard for family use. A turning point came in the 1970s, when Fiorella, Bramante’s daughter, and her husband Paolo planted new vineyards alongside modern livestock operations, selling grapes to other wineries. In 1997, their son Luciano returned to SanLorenzo, inspired by Montalcino’s wine boom, and transformed the farm into a dedicated winery. Five hectares of vineyards were planted, the first vintage was released in 2003, and the family legacy continues today under the stewardship of Luciano and his sister Luciana.

From the best of SanLorenzo’s grapes and the perfect blend of land, vine and winery comes Brunello di Montalcino; great elegance and intensity capable of bringing out the best in itself over time. Vinified in steel casks, it's then aged in wooden casks for more than 2 years and then bottled and left to rest for another 4 months. The 2020 offers a complex bouquet of dried flowers, spices, and ripe fruit, with a deep garnet colour, firm yet refined tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. 

Pairs beautifully with game, Fiorentina and Tagliata steaks, as well as aged pecorino cheese.

As at many family domaines with deep roots in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, vigneron Alexandre Favier was by his own account “raised in the vineyards”: Alexandre’s grandfather, Noël Sabon, is from one of the best known winemaking families in the region. Alexandre himself began his viticultural studies in Orange at the age of fifteen and passed the exams four years later in 2001. A year later (at age twenty!) he took over winemaking duties at the domaine when his father experienced health problems. Today, Domaine Chante Cigale is one of the most important family estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

This is a traditional house with 40 hectares of red grapes and 5 hectares of white. They have parcels in all of the main soil types of Châteauneuf and they vinify the top parcels separately. Only native yeasts are employed in the cellar.

A full-bodied white with rich, ripe pear fruit that develops into floral and herby peachiness. The wine has a long leesy character and fresh acidity. Attractive when young but worth leaving for a couple of years, which will allow the wine to develop some wonderful nutty and mineral notes.

Enjoy this white blend with grilled red mullet with charred onion and pine nuts.
