Percarlo 2015 San Giusto a Rentennano

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (97)

The 2015 Percarlo is a sassy and bright wine with great purity and definition. This is the full package for all you Sangiovese lovers out there. The wine is round and slightly soft in the middle, owing a lot to that 2015 sunshine. A deeply etched and sophisticated expression, the Percarlo takes a little while to open in the glass: This review is based on my impressions from two tasting, one right after the bottle was opened and a second about 12 hours later. Ultimately, the wine presented a 360-degree perspective onto Sangiovese, with the freshness, the softness and the succulence that you are looking for in the grape and plenty of those variety-pure aromas of purple berry, wild rose and tilled earth. The way the wine impacts the palate is of particular interest because you get fullness and extraction that is all magically rendered light and buoyant thanks to that crisp acidity. Production is 16,996 bottles.

Very pretty blackberry, tea-leaf, cedar and chocolate aromas and flavors here with medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and an attractive finish. Pure sangiovese pleasure. Better after 2022, but already gorgeous.
