Tenuta Larnianone

Nestled in the verdant hills near Siena, Tenuta Larnianone stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Morfini family, whose dedication to viticulture and olive cultivation has flourished since 1939. The estate, a patchwork of 16 hectares of vineyards and 12 hectares of olive groves, offers a picturesque panorama of the Chianti hills, with the storied medieval city of Siena, shouting distance away at 5 kilometers. Here, the soil tells a story of ancient seas, rich with seashell fossils from the Pliocene era, endowing the land with unique characteristics that the Morfini family has skillfully harnessed.

The vineyards of Tenuta Larnianone are a living library of grape varieties, where the native Sangiovese, Colorino, and Canaiolo vines rub shoulders with international cultivars like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. This blend of tradition and innovation creates a symphony of flavors, each bottle a harmonious expression of the estate's rich terroir. The olive groves, too, are a source of pride, producing a golden oil that captures the essence of the Tuscan sun and soil.

At the helm of this agricultural odyssey is Lorenzo Morfini, a scion of the fourth generation, whose life journey has woven a path from Milan to Bordeaux and back to the heart of Tuscany. His academic pursuit in Economics and Finance, followed by a specialized master's in wine marketing, has equipped him with a global perspective that he now applies to the family's ancestral craft. Lorenzo's return to Tenuta Larnianone in 2018 marked a new chapter in the winery's story, one where respect for tradition meets a keen eye for the future.

Under Lorenzo's stewardship, Tenuta Larnianone has embraced both the time-honored methods passed down through generations and the innovative practices that today's wine industry demands. His travels across the globe serve not only as ambassadorial missions for the wines his great-grandfather once dreamed of but also as a quest for knowledge, ensuring that each vintage reflects both the heritage and the evolution of this venerable estate.

As Tenuta Larnianone continues to cultivate its vines and olives, it remains a beacon of Tuscan excellence, inviting connoisseurs and casual sippers alike to partake in the fruits of a family's passion that has ripened beautifully with time. Each glass poured is a tribute to the Morfini family's unwavering commitment to the land and to the art of winemaking, a commitment that promises to yield exquisite experiences for generations to come.
