The Company

I Giusti & Zanza Vineyards after the renovation of an old cellar that, in Fauglia Hills, produced wine from the early nineteenth century. Geographical location: The territory is part of the Tuscan coast, about 30 km north of Bolgheri to 100 meters above sea level, where it reflects the beneficial influence of the sea. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills and alluvial light soil composed mainly of sand, gravel and silt with limited presence of clay, easy to work with and very draining. The Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and temperate summers by the sea breeze, combined with the intense brightness of the places, ensures ideal conditions for viticulture. The Vineyards: The company currently conducts 17 hectares of vineyard dedicated mainly to the cultivation of red grapes. The planting density of the vineyards varies, depending on the varieties grown, from 9000 to 10500 plants per hectare, the age of the vines ranges from 10 years of the new plants to 40 years old. Grape production comes to a maximum of 80 quintals per hectare with yields to very low strain that guarantee perfectly ripe grapes. Conducting farm is organic and in the vineyard is only made use of natural practices using organic and biodynamic preparations. The varieties of grapes are grown mainly Sangiovese, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Alicante; also they cultivate small amounts of white grapes like Semillon and Trebbiano Toscano. The Harvest: The old vineyards as well as new plants are harvested by hand only to realize directly in the vineyard a first selection of the grapes. The Fermentation: takes place in the traditional way, using natural extraction capacity of musts, with gentle movements of the marc and long maceration of up to 18/24 days, depending on the variety and ripeness of the grapes. Aging: The wine is conducted in barrels of 300lt French oak medium toasted, and varies depending on the grape variety and vintage. The wines are bottled after a light filtration without any kind of stabilization, so any sediment on the bottom of the bottle are witnesses to the naturalness of the product.
