A place of rare beauty, Fattoria San Giusto in Rentennano is housed in an ancient Cistercian monastery near Gaiole, the southernmost of the Chianti Classico production centers. The landscape here is magical, varied, on the sweet Chianti hills, vineyards, woods and meadows dotted with noble cypresses follow one another as far as the eye can see, places inevitably to fall head over heels in love at first sight.
The farm, famous for the repeated successes of Percarlo and La Ricolma, has been converted to organic agriculture for several years, also all the processing phases are carried out manually with the utmost care.
Chianti Classico, the company's basic product, is made up of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo; the wine is not filtered so there may be a deposit on the bottom of the bottle. The color is enchanting, transparent and brilliant ruby red, to be admired. The nose is intense and elegant, with notes of red fruits, blackberry, plum, leather, and again, pausing for a moment, here are withered flowers, wet earth, balsamic and mineral accents. On the palate it is delicious, seductive and authentic. Caressing, soft and velvety, fresh, with a strong acidity. Simply beautiful.

Good solid chianti classico
Rating is more 3,5 than 3. Very nice chianti. Needs air before drinking. Lot of dark berrys, smoky, bit tar, plums some herbs. Quite a lot of oak. But overoll very nice wine

Splendide
Robe rubis, teinte profonde, grand fruit sérieux, élégant - tarte aux cerises, baies sauvages, avec un feu de notes épicées. Les tanins sont très justes, croquant, et la finale tient sa route. Un excellent avocat de son appellation.

Tres bon
Un chianti pur, expressif et généreux, de belle longueur. Le nez est un peu en retrait mais La bouche est large et puissante.
Un chianti très recommandable !

Un peu déçu
Après une mise en carafe d'une nuit il s'est ouvert. Très correcte mais "sans plus" pour moi. Un peu trouver mieux à ce prix.
