Sanlorenzo, April 2013
This year, with a delay of 10-15 days the vines started to grow, the delay is due to the cold and rain in the month of March. The time now is swollen buds and in a few days if he continues hot start to open showing the first leaves.

Now the end of April in the vineyard ………….
Arrived in late April, the vines are definitely awakened ………………… are open the first leaves and are starting to distinguish the bunches
Along the vines grew so even the grass, not wanting to use the weed to be plowed under remove the row with a tool called “straddle” with a hydraulic piston that is able to enter and exit between screws.
Here’s how it works ………….
And this is the result …….. -
Top 5 Brunello di Montalcino
Su Swide, scritto da Chiara Giovoni:
Luciano Ciolfi is a young producer with a relatively recent history, given that his first harvest on his own was that of 2003. Yet his is a genuine and instinctive Brunello, a frank wine of innate refinement, which tells much of the craft of who produces it, and this consonance comes as no surprise given that Luciano’s work in the vineyard is constant, maniacal to the point of knowing the details of the performance of each single vine and selecting only the best grapes at each harvest. Luciano chose the name of the Brunello to honour his grandfather, who taught him the secrets of the soil of Montalcino from the time he was a child. The Sanlorenzo farm is situated on the south-west slopes 500 metres above sea level, on the crest of the hills where the vineyards are called “the four princesses”: light, awakening, Bramante and Lorenzo, the youngest. The “princess of Bramante” is the oldest and smallest of the vineyards, producing only Brunello di Montalcino, but it is a vineyard that is full of memories, which it brings with it at every harvest. Luciano says that it is the soil, not even the vines, that makes most of the wine, even if the attentive winemaker knows what to look for among those branches from the day of pruning up to harvesting. Bramante is a precise Brunello that is full of freshness, with a surprising, alive and vibrant enjoyment and a regenerating finale of red currants, white pepper, rhubarb with an ending of orange and herbs. Vital.

Angelo Di Costanzo sul Bramante 2008
Angelo Di Costanzo, amico nonché primo sommelier della campania nel 2008 e Head Sommelier presso il Capri Palace Hotel&Spa, ha assaggiato il Brunello di Montalcino Bramante 2008 e lo racconta in questo articolo sul suo blog L’Arcante.
….………..Ho bevuto però i nuovi vini di Luciano Ciolfi, a più riprese, con la calma dei forti e la pazienza di un fan. Il Bramante 2008 farà faville sul mercato. E’ vero, in questo ha ragione da vendere Antonio Galloni¤, rientra certamente tra quei Brunello 2008 di grande slancio degustativo che tanto piacerà ai ristoratori appassionati sempre alle prese con troppe scelte difficili in materia di Brunello di Montalcino…………………….

Here’s what he wrote about our wines:
San Lorenzo 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Bramante 17 Drink 2015-2024
Deep ruby with orange tinges. Multilayered nose of sweet cherry and candied dark fruit. Hint of cedar. Very youthful, full
fruit palate underlined by acidity. Great balance and powerfully concentrated. Wait. (WS)San Lorenzo, Riserva 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Bramante 15.5 Drink 2013-2020
Mid ruby with orange rim. Earthy and kitchen spices and with a layer of brooding candied fruit underneath. Lots of depth
and concentration and well balanced. Not a shy wine by any measure. (WS) -

Today, with the laying of the tiles celebrating the 2012 harvest has been provided with 5 star on a scale of 1 to 5 give this year the top award.
Great satisfaction for friends Osteria Brunello this year were awarded with the Leccio d’Oro
The Osteria Brunello (www.osteriabrunello.it) lies in the heart of the Milanese ‘movida’ in the pedestrian area of Corso Garibaldi. The dishes offer the best traditional Tuscan cuisine, with a clear Sienese imprint together with a few Lombardy dishes such as “guest of honour”. The wine list is very widespread and offers a national panorama, with special attention to the great Tuscan reds and to the Brunellos.
