Fattoria San Lorenzo

FATTORIA SAN LORENZO DI NATALINO CROGNALETTI, ANCONA, Marche – Biodynamic

This estate, located in Montecarotto and the neighbouring municipalities of Ostra, Ostra Vetere and Corinaldo has been handed over from father to son for several generations.  Enrico, Grandfather of current owner Natalino, as well as vintner of excellent Verdicchio, was also a good cooper.  He carefully selected the oak that made the barrels for his wines.  His work continues to help us understand the use of wood and its importance in the wine.  Natalino’s father, Gino, dedicated his life to selecting old clones of Verdicchio (in the old vineyards called “Trees”).  His choices then help to produce the best possible fruit today, allowing Natalino to make brilliant, complex single-vineyard Verdicchios aged for prolonged periods on the yeast lees, and rich, yet pure reds. N atalino Crognaletti works with the minimum of interventions in the vineyard and winery.
