San Giusto a Rentennano (name of Etruscan origin), is set high on the river Arbia in the southernmost part of Chianti Classico. Ancient Cistercian monastery (hence formerly called San Giusto alle Monache), then indomitable fortress, was marked on the border, according to a treaty of 1204, between the counties of Siena and Florence. Guelph battlements of the castle remain of the wall, the massive walls and Barbican underground cellars, still used for aging wine in barrels. Property of the Martini family of Cigala since 1914, today the brothers Anna, Lucia, Elisabetta, Francesca, Alessandro, Luca. Read more

Soil composition Most of the vineyards destined for the production of Percarlo are located on soils of Pliocene origin, formed by layers of sand and pebbles (tufa) from 2 to 5 metres deep, below which are banks of clay. To a lesser extent, they are located on marl and alberese soils, on the south-west side of the estate; the vineyards of 'Corsignano', near Monti in Chianti, are instead located on decidedly more clayey soils.
Yield per hectare 1 kg per strain.
Harvest 26-29 September. Selected bunch by bunch from the best vineyards, grapes often picked beyond the usual levels of ripeness.
Wine making Fermentation and maceration takes place in enamelled cement tanks and lasts up to 30-35 days.
Aging 22 months in 225-litre and 500-litre French oak barrels (Allier, Nevers) and 30 hl casks. Bottle-ageing: 15 months.
