【San Giusto a Rentennano's Percarlo 2016, a 100% estate-grown Sangiovese, is hailed as a 'transcendent Sangiovese' and a soulful expression of Tuscany, showcasing exceptional depth, silky texture, and aging potential.】 The 2016 vintage was excellent, with Percarlo crafted from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, aged for 20-22 months in French oak barrels, and an additional 18 months in bottle before release. The wine reveals a more muscular side of Sangiovese while maintaining superb aromatic lift. It displays a deep ruby color. The complex and captivating aroma is filled with black fruit, blue flowers, lilac, honey, potting soil, and a touch of fragrant porcino mushroom. The palate is pliant, silky, and exceptionally polished, with freshly cut flowers, rose petal, mint, spice, and blood orange adding striking aromatic nuance to a core of brilliant Sangiovese fruit. The tannins are elegant and fine-grained, with balanced acidity, and a long finish that wraps over the palate with silky intensity.
