Marco Pallanti took over the vineyard management of this historic winery in 1982. He re-planted, re-grafted and re-trellised. In 1988, Lorenza Sebasti assumed ownership from her family. They married in the 90's. And everything good happened. In 2014, their 2010 Gran Selezione San Lorenzo, a single-vineyard "Super-Riserva", was named Wine Spectator's #6 Wine Of The Year.
