AboutSan Giusto a Rentennano
San Giusto a Rentennano occupies a former medieval monastery in the southern reaches of Chianti Classico, a site fortified in 1204. The property entered the Martini di Cigala family in 1914; after a generational transition in 1992, six siblings now share responsibility for the estate. All of the fruit comes from the estate, with Sangiovese at the centre.
Work toward organic certification started in 2001, and the vineyards and wider farm have been certified since 2006. The farm uses compost. The cellar uses concrete, stainless steel and oak across its wines.

Bright red cherry, red plum, mint, cedar, tobacco, game, liquorice and rose petal shape a mid-weight profile. Acidity is bright, and the wine is fresh and concentrated. The blend is ninety-five percent Sangiovese and five percent Canaiolo. Oak ageing lasts eleven months, while analysis records 14.5 percent alcohol, less than one gram per litre of sugar and 5.35 grams per litre of acidity.

Italian Red
Silky and gracious, with dark cherry and plum framed by lifted floral notes and fine spice. The palate is ample and creamy without losing precision, its ripe fruit carried by fresh acidity and polished tannins. Savoury earth and a subtle mineral note add depth through the middle. The finish is long and refined, returning to red fruit, florals and measured spice with composed persistence.
