"The 2021 Chianti Classico is superb. Bright and explosive, the 2021 possesses notable energy and tension to play off its natural richness. In most vintages, the San Giusto Chianti Classico is quite open. That is not at all the case with the 2021, where vibrancy acids and tannins dominate. Readers should plan on putting the 2021 away for a number of years. Sweet exotic floral notes lift the finish." Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2021 Chianti Classico is magnificent. Bright and explosive, the 2021 has remarkable energy and tension to play up its natural richness. In most vintages, the San Giusto Chianti Classico is quite open. This is not the case at all with the 2021, where lively acids and tannins dominate. harvestshould plan to drink the 2021 for a few years. Sweet exotic floral notes lift the finish."

Robert Parker

"The organic Chianti Classico 2021, from a balanced vintage that delivers acidity and structure, displays a brilliant dark garnet colour and a clean, medium-bodied appearance. The bouquet is full of energy and liveliness, a quality that Sangiovese achieves under ideal growing conditions. Spicy cherry, cassis, blue flowers, violets and soft earth give this wine an authentic sense of place. The same goes for the elegant mineral notes. This is a special wine."

Jancis Robinson

"Brilliant crimson. Sublime, perfumed nose of raspberry, cherry and cranberry. Juicy and almost a little racy on the attack, then concentrated and long with a firm tannic frame. Beautiful."

Wine Spectator

93 points

"Dark cherry, raspberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors permeate this supple red, which is fresh, delineated and intense, with fine harmony and a lingering aftertaste emphasizing the fruit."

More about San Giusto a Rentennano

San Giusto has been farming Chianti Classico organically since 2006, working the vineyards almost entirely by hand. Their Chianti tastes classic and pure—no fancy new oak, no overextracting. Just beautiful Sangiovese that tastes like it's been made this way forever.

Tasting Profile

Elegant Chianti with red cherry, violet, and herb; medium body with silky tannins, good acidity, and a savory, dry finish with earthy notes.

Tuscany: the land of hills, olive groves, and wine. And above all other wines, Chianti Classico.

Chianti, you may know, is not a tiny region. The best Chiantis, though, are from Chianti Classico, the communes spread out between Florence and Siena and over which these two city-states warred for centuries (oh, how we're glad not to be 17th-century peasants!).

In our fantasy, these wines are hand made by artisans working with old, organic methods. That fantasy is hardly the rule. But all of these wonderful things come together at San Giusto a Rentennano. If you visit the estate you may be invited to taste in an old wooden barn. The walls are lined with ancient tools and drying herbs hang from the ceiling. The glasses sit on an ancient table and as you taste it becomes impossible to tell what century you are in.

San Giusto is in Chianti Classico's southern commune of Gaiole. Gaiole makes the region's most structured wines. The family grows olives, Sangiovese, and a little Canaiolo. (They also grow a dash of Merlot for their supertuscan, "La Ricolma," a too-rare example of French grapes making great wine in the Chianti). They farm everything organically and by hand. Their top bottling, Percarlo, is famous—especially in Europe, where it is regarded as one of Italy's very greatest wines. It is less known here, for no good reason at all.
