About the Wine

Lornano is a boutique winery owned by the same family since 1904. Located in the picturesque southwest hills of Castellina in Chianti, at the hearth of the Chianti Classico DOCG wine region, on the border between Castellina and Monteriggioni. The winery was initially constructed in the 15th Century, and the current structure dates back to the latter half of the 18th Century. Fattoria di Lornano has been a member of the “Consorzio del Marchio Storico Chianti Classico Gallo Nero” since its foundation in 1924, underscoring a commitment to tradition and quality.

In the early 2010s, under the leadership of the family’s fourth generation Nicolò and Galileo Pozzoli, with the guidance of enologists and consultants Franco and Matteo Bernabei, the family restructured the vineyards. They built a new barrique cellar and warehouse. In 2013, Lornano was one of the first 30 wineries in Chianti Classico to join the Consorzio’s new Gran Selezione denomination. In 2022, the winery received the Sustainability Certification, the culmination of a decades-long journey towards sustainability.

Aging: 30 months in French oak plus 6 more months in bottle before release

Tasting Notes

Light ruby red color. Complex bouquet that superbly includes spicy, tobacco, undergrowth and balsamic notes, accompanied by hints of ripe wild berries. On the palate it is so and fresh, the tannin is well present, harmonious and of good power. The full and intense flavor gives a very pleasant persistence.

Critic Review

A rich Chianti Classico with a full body of ripe fruit and loads of round tannins. Velvety and flavorful, generous and juicy. Drink or hold. ~93 James Suckling

~92 & Gold Medal Gilbert&Gaillard

Dark shining ruby. Hearty nose of noble cherry and fresh strawberry, delicate salt. Initially reveals itself with a fresh touch, compact, fruity core, decidedly after-drying on the finish. ~ 90 Falstaff
