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.
"A touch of magic... an ethereal and soulful expression of Tuscany." Wine Advocate
