Tenuta San Sisto is a tiny estate with grape rows all around the farm buildings, in the middle of the property. As stated on a marble inscription within the church: Fide et amor restauravit, a church in the middle of the San Sisto countryside, the oldest estate, dating from 1199 and subsequently restored, pays testament to the affection for the beauty and value of this location.

The exposure, which ensures a decidedly cool climate, and the limestone-alkaline soils with a clay component make this special location ideal for growing Verdicchio. These features add mineral structure, pronounced acidity, and aromatic freshness, making Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio Classico Riserva San Sisto very suitable for long ageing.

The medium-textured soils are calcareous and slightly alkaline, making them the perfect combination for producing exquisite wines with a lot of body, extract, and perfume.

Most of these qualities are enhanced by the elevation, which supports a healthy day-night temperature range, particularly during the last stages of ripening.
