The 2016 San Giusto a Rentennano, "Percarlo" Toscana Rosso was a Merchant's Pick

Rare Super Tuscan Treat

Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Solaia, Le Pergole Torte, San Guisto, and Flaccianello are synonymous with Super Tuscan greatness.   

All fantastic in their own right, each offers something a little different than the other:  some are Bordeaux blends, some 100% Sangiovese.  

Percarlo is more than a gorgeous Sangiovese. "This is the best-kept secret in Italian wine.  NOTHING matches this quality!" Dominic Nocerino

The iconic San Giusto a Rentennano 2016 Percarlo is a gorgeous expression, opening slowly to reveal black fruit, blue flowers, lilac, honey, potting soil and a touch of fragrant porcini mushroom. These are stunning results, with a soft and contoured mouthfeel followed by elegant tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish that wraps over the palate with silky intensity... In a sense, Percarlo transcends Sangiovese. Not only does it deliver the classic characteristics of the variety, it does so with a touch of magic."  Wine Advocate

Percarlo is a rare treat not to be missed.

“In a word: compelling.”

Vinous • 99 / 100

"The 2016 Percarlo captures all of the beauty it has always shown in the cellar. Pliant, silky and exceptionally polished, the 2016 simply has it all. Freshly cut flowers, rose petal, mint, spice and blood orange add striking aromatic nuance to a core of brilliant Sangiovese fruit. Powerful and ample, with superb aromatic lift, the 2016 Percarlo is exceptionally beautiful and moving from the very first taste. A whole range of floral and mineral notes extend the finish effortless. The tannins need time to soften, so readers should plan on at least a few years of cellaring. In a word: compelling."
