    San Giusto a Rentennano – the name is of Etruscan origin and carries the centuries within it. The medieval estate is located in the southernmost tip of the Chianti Classico, where the area meets the upper reaches of the Arbia and the hills become wider, quieter and rougher. A Cistercian monastery once stood here – san Giusto alle Monache. In 1204, the Florentines fortified the area as a border post to Siena. The underground vaults from that time are now the storage cellars of the Martini di Cigala. The family has owned the estate since 1914 and Luca, Francesco and Elisabetta now run it with the conviction that has defined the house since the early 1980s: Sangiovese needs no shortcuts. It needs low yields, ripe harvestand time. Organically farmed since 2006, green pruning in July and August by 30 to 50 per cent. 95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo harvested by hand.

    The 2024 vintage was produced in a year of extreme vagaries: rainy spring, late frosts in April, then a long, dry summer. The grapes that remained were concentrated and healthy. Matured in oak barrels and Liters tonneaux for 10 to 12 months.

    Bright ruby red colour. Cherry, plum, undergrowth, spices and a mineral undertone on the nose. Dry and balanced on the palate, with clear acidity, well-structured tannins and a long, earthy final. Chianti Classico from the southernmost heart of the appellation – consistent, full of character, without any concessions. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Restrained, mineral and elegant, showing subtle red cherries, fresh violets steeped in citrus, red currants and licorice. Light-bodied, crisp and velvety, with tight-knit structure and a youthful, chewy finish." James Suckling
