In fact, Luca Martini di Cigala admits to having a soft spot for this wine, which he believes is representative of the San Giusto spirit and has been produced for a very long time on the estate: a superb nose of minty strawberries, typical of the grape variety at its best, which precedes a rich but well-balanced palate, deep and reserved on the finish. This Riserva will make a great bottle to keep! Jancis Robinson : 18/20

Technique

Viticulture

San Giusto covers an area of 160 hectares, 31 of which are vineyards. The soil composition is variable, with more than 70% tufa sand, but also silt, clay and limestone. The average altitude is about 270 m., and the microclimate is characterised by significant temperature variations. The vines are planted on the best exposures. Certified organic cultivation.

Oenology

Maceration takes place in concrete and stainless steel vats. During fermentation, the musts are pumped over to extract the best qualities from the grapes. Then they are pressed. Malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously. The wine is aged for 20 months in oak barrels of 7 to 10 hl and in barriques. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
