The 2020 Percarlo is widely praised for its remarkable finesse, nuance, and tension. It opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, wild herbs, and hints of cocoa, layered over a chalky mineral spine. In the mouth, it is elegant yet concentrated: vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a long, linear finish. Many critics highlight its restraint—“barely any perception of tannin”—and mineral-rich clarity as hallmarks of its greatness.
San Giusto a Rentennano is a highly regarded Tuscan estate rooted in the Gaiole-in-Chianti zone, run by the Martini di Cigala family. Percarlo is their top-expression Sangiovese, drawn from low-yielding vines across six selected vineyards on sandy, stony soils. The estate ferments in concrete and steel, then ages the wine for 20–22 months in barrels and tonneaux, releasing it unfiltered after further bottle aging.
