San Giusto a Rentennano, in Gaiole in southern Chianti Classico, is a 160-hectare estate run by Luca Martini di Cigala and his sister Elisabetta. Once a Cistercian monastery and later owned by the Ricasoli family, it passed to the Martini di Cigala family in 1904. Seven hectares are devoted to olive groves on drained tuffaceous soils. The olives are hand-picked, pressed within 18 hours and cold-extracted under nitrogen before light filtration. Despite a challenging 2025 season and lower yields, quality was excellent. The extra virgin olive oil is vivid and concentrated, with fresh grass, green fruit and almond notes, balanced by a smooth texture and a gently peppery, persistent finish.

Fattoria San Giusto a Rentennano Extra Virgin Olive Oil
San Giusto a Rentennano Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from seven hectares of estate groves in Gaiole, at the heart of Chianti Classico. The olives are hand-picked and pressed within 18 hours, with cold extraction under nitrogen preserving freshness, purity and aromatic intensity. The 2025 vintage produced lower yields but excellent quality, resulting in an oil of impressive concentration and vibrancy. Bright green-fruit aromas lead to fresh grass and delicate almond on the palate, finishing with a gentle peppery warmth. Smooth, vivid and beautifully balanced, it is a refined expression of Tuscan olive oil and the meticulous approach of the Martini di Cigala family.
