Percarlo from San Giusto a Rentennano is one of Tuscany’s most recognized expressions of 100% Sangiovese, defined by a focus on purity, structure, and long aging potential. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected, low-yielding vineyard parcels, which contribute to both concentration and precision.

Vinification includes extended maceration and controlled fermentation, followed by aging in French oak barrels and additional bottle maturation before release. Aromatically, the wine is deep and layered, with notes of ripe cherry, plum, and red berries, supported by tobacco, leather, spice, and subtle mineral nuances.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet refined tannins and a vibrant acidity that maintains balance and freshness. The texture is powerful yet elegant, with a clear progression from primary fruit to more complex secondary and tertiary notes over time.

The finish is long, complex, and gradually evolving, reflecting both depth and control. Percarlo is built for long-term aging, gaining additional harmony and complexity over the years.

It stands as a benchmark Sangiovese from Chianti Classico, emphasizing longevity, precision, and a clear sense of terroir.
