Over the past eight years the San Giustino estate, covering nearly 120 hectares, has undergone a complete restoration whereby after decades of neglect both the farm and the residential buildings were reconstructed with the utmost care. As the stewards of an iconic historical property, it was critically important to us to bring all of the existing historic structures to their former glory and to ensure their integrity for many generations to come.
Our approach to wine production and care for our local environment stems from a similar philosophy. All decisions regarding the viniculture are made in harmony with the particularities of nature. Fields and meadows are mowed only after flowering in order to preserve their biodiversity. Trimmings from the vines and olive groves are mulched and returned to the soil, not burned as per Tuscan custom. These are just examples of how our agricultural activity is a wonderful fusion of both wine production and care for the natural environment and surrounding landscape.
