Description

San Giusto a Rentennano La Ricolma 2021 is a 100% Merlot coming from a 1.5 hectare vineyard with marly, calcareous and clayey soils. The grapes are harvested by hand when fully ripe with yields of 50 quintals/ha.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for approximately 18 days, followed by racking and pressing. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously as with all our wines.

After an initial racking, the wine is placed in French oak barriques for 20-22 months.

Once bottled, without filtering, it ages for a further 6 months in glass.

San Giusto a Rentennano, a name of Etruscan origin, overlooks the upper course of the Arbia river in the southern area of ​​the Chianti Classico in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti.

The estate was born as a medieval monastery of Cistercian nuns and was called San Giusto alle Monache (“of the Nuns”).

In 1957 it was inherited by Enrico Martini di Cigala and in 1992 it passed to his children, of whom Francesco, Luca and Elisabetta now manage the property.

The estate extends for 160 hectares, located at an average altitude of 260 meters above sea level. 31 hectares are vineyards, 11 olive groves, 40 woods, 78 in cultivated and grazing land. The soil is composed is rich and composed of different mineral components, sand, clay, lime, alkali, volcanic ash, clay and calcium. The microclimate is characterized by significant differences in day and night temperatures.

All the vineyards enjoy exceptionally favorable exposure. From the oldest vineyards, planted 35-40 years ago, the best clones of Sangiovese and Canaiolo are selected to graft them onto the new vines.

The quality of the entire range is exceptional, starting with the Chianti Classico and Le Baroncole Riserva, all of which are highly typical

Then the heavyweights: the flagship “Percarlo” is one of the best Sangiovese in Tuscany, known for its aging capacity of 15-20 years in good years, while the Merlot “La Ricolma 2019” is a small pearl. – a Merlot with a name but with a Tuscan character. Then there is Vin San Giusto, a vin santo in all respects, truly stunning for its intense, viscous and extremely concentrated style.
