Percarlo 2020 Vintage Overview

2020 OVERVIEW

Intensity is the calling card of San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo 2020: deep, ripe black cherry and plum framed by warm spice, hints of tobacco and savory herbs, all carried on a beam of vivid acidity that keeps this powerful Sangiovese amazingly poised. The palate is concentrated yet graceful, with polished tannins and a long, stony, mouthwatering finish that shows this vintage’s remarkable focus and energy despite its high alcohol. This is a profound, ageworthy Percarlo that still feels tightly coiled today and destined to gain even more complexity in bottle.

About Percarlo

Percarlo is San Giusto a Rentennano’s flagship, cult-status Tuscan red, a 100% estate-grown Sangiovese crafted from rigorously selected low-yield vines in the best parcels of their Gaiole (Chianti Classico) estate. First produced in 1983, it is known for its concentrated yet refined style, long macerations, and extended aging in French oak, yielding a powerful, ageworthy expression that marries dark, ripe fruit with marked minerality and a strong sense of the estate’s sandy, stony, clay-based terroir.
