RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

San Lorenzo arrived in Trentino from neighboring Austria in the 19th century.

It ripens very early: at lower altitudes, the harvest takes place by August, while at higher elevations it occurs shortly thereafter. Its name comes from the saint celebrated on August 10th—the night of the shooting stars—by which time the grapes have already turned dark. Its freshness and aromas are best appreciated when the wine is consumed young.
