The 2021 San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo is one of Tuscany’s benchmark expressions of Sangiovese. Made from 100% estate-grown fruit, selected bunch by bunch from the estate’s finest vineyard parcels, Percarlo captures the depth, intensity and unmistakable savoury beauty that has made San Giusto a Rentennano one of the great names of Chianti Classico.
The 2021 release is powerful yet beautifully composed, with layers of dark cherry, blackcurrant, violet, spice, earth, liquorice and fine Tuscan herbs. There is impressive concentration here, but also freshness, chalky tannin and a long, persistent finish that speaks to both the vintage and the estate’s meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar.
A serious cellar wine with real presence, Percarlo is built for long ageing, yet already shows the balance and detail that make great Sangiovese so compelling. A superb bottle for collectors, lovers of Tuscan reds, or anyone looking for a grander, more profound take on Chianti country.
Critic Reviews
99 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“The Percarlo 2021 is just as breathtaking in the bottle as it is in the barrel. Rich and vibrant in the glass, with impressive complexity, the 2021 is a fine successor to the 2020. I'm looking forward to comparing these two monumental wines in a few years' time. At the moment, the 2021 impresses with its pure Sangiovese fruit and stunning balance. Hints of cherry, blood orange and pomegranate linger on the vibrant, exceptionally polished finish. What a wine”
97 Points - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
“This red wine is fresh and reminiscent of flavours of cherries, raspberries, iron, earth and tobacco. Despite the firm tannins, an impression of finesse is created, which is supported by the lively acidity. On the palate, the cherry and raspberry flavours come to the fore, delivering a pure expression of red fruit. Balanced and long, but requires patience."”
