This, climatically, was an extraordinary year. Springtime and early summer temperatures and rainfall were within the standard value; as from the first days of July temperature rose sharply and the weather remained warm and sunny up the 9th of August, when a heavy thunderstorm caused a sharp temperature drop. It then rained twice again during the same month, the total amount of rain received summing up to 100 mm. During September and throughout harvest time the weather was fine; air and soil moisture were available in quantities sufficient to prevent the fruit from suffering any dehydration problem. The outcome was a Chianti classic of excellent quality, intense but at the same time less initially raw than usually.
San Giusto a Rentennano Chianti Classico is a blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo grapes, hand-picked when perfectly mature. It is fermented in glazed concrete and stainless steel vats for about 14 days. During fermentation the skins and must are pumped-over and punched-down a number of times to extract the maximum qualities from the grapes. After the wine has been racked , the skins are soft-pressed in an horizontal press and the juice thus obtained is added to the wine. Malolactic fermentation is stimulated by heating the building where the vats are stored. The wine is aged in medium sized casks and oak Tonneaux for about 10-12 months, during which period it is racked several times. Before being released, it is held in bottle for at least another six months.
