About San Giusto a Rentennano

San Giusto a Rentennano, a name of Etruscan origin, overlooks the upper part of the Arbia River in the southernmost part of the Chianti Classico wine region. The estate began as a medieval monastery of Cistercian nuns and was known as San Giusto alle Monache ("of the Nuns"). In 1204 it was fortified by the Florentines, following a treaty that established it as their border with Siena. Only parts of the ancient fortifications remain, including the crenellated walls, the massive barbican and underground vaults, which are 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 family business.
