Lawrence Cronin paid his dues: from bartending at an Irish bar to working reservations at a ‘clothing optional’ resort – the mind shudders. But wine making was always the end goal.
And he certainly achieved it, working at some of the best wineries all around the world in California, New Zealand, Australia and Chile.
But despite growing up in the States, the pull of the old world – and his Italian heritage – eventually won out.
In 2002, he was hired as the Winemaker for Tenuta di Arceno. With guidance from legendary vigneron Pierre Seillan, he has helped elevate this historic estate into the upper tier of Tuscan producers.
