San Giusto a Rentennano is at the southern end of the Gaiole region in
Chianti Classico, bordering Castelnuovo Berardenga. The estate, originally a
monastery of Cistercian nuns, was fortified by the Florentines in 1204 as their
boundary with Siena and the underground vaults built as part of the
fortification are used today as the ageing cellars. For centuries it was owned
by the Ricasoli family of the neighbouring Brolio castle and was passed to the
Martini di Cigala family in 1957. Today, this beautiful estate of 160 hectares
is run by the brothers and sister team of Francesco, Luca and Elisabetta Martini
di Cigala.
