Percarlo 2014 San Giusto a Rentennano

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

The 2014 Percarlo is a pure expression of Sangiovese made from organically farmed grapes. This is a dark and penetrating wine that actually tastes riper, darker and thicker than you might expect of this cool and difficult vintage. The alcohol here is 15%. Black cherry and dried blackberry segue to spice, leather, tar and grilled herb. Despite those bold and opulent fruit flavors, the wine shows moderate complexity and depth. It offers a lot in terms of muscle and power, but it's ultimately more monosyllabic in this vintage. Bottle production was 13,817 units strong.

James Suckling (95)

Shows surprising ripeness for the vintage with black-cherry essence, tar, ash, cloves, bark, citrus, cedar and spices. Full-bodied, very silky and long and chewy on the finish. Tannic and muscular, this needs a lot of time, but it’s an amazing effort for a 2014. Pure Sangiovese.
