About San Giusto a Rentennano
The estate began life as a medieval monastery of Cistercian nuns and was called San Giusto Alle Monache. In 1204 it was fortified by the Florentines after a treaty established it as their boundary with Siena. Only portions of the ancient fortification still stand, its crenelated battlements, massive barbican wall and underground vaults, used today as the ageing cellars for our wines. The medieval estate of San Giusto a Rentennano came into the Martini di Cigala family through marriage in 1914. In 1957, it was inherited by Enrico Martini di Cigala and in 1992, by his nine children. Today Anna, Lucia, Elisabetta, Francesco, Alessandro and Luca are partners in the estate company. The estate is comprised of 160 hectares, situated at an average altitude of 270 meters above sea level. 31 hectares are planted in vineyards, 11 in olive groves, 40 in woods, 78 in cultivated and grazing lands. The terrain is composed of various soils rich in different mineral components, sand, clay, lime, alkali, volcanic ash, argil and calcium. The microclimate is characterized by considerable day and night temperature differences and often heat during harvest time. All the vineyards enjoy exceptionally favorable exposure. During the months of July and August, we thin-out the natural growth of grape bunches by 30-50%, a practice called green harvesting, which encourages the full and perfect maturation of our grapes. Our farming methods remain largely manual and exclusively organic certified.
