San Giusto a Rentennano "Percarlo" 2010: The Perfection of a Landmark Vintage in Tuscany

Wine Presentation: The Organic Excellence of Sangiovese

Born in the historic lands of Gaiole in Chianti, the "Percarlo" from the San Giusto a Rentennano estate is a masterful and organic interpretation of Sangiovese. This exceptional cuvée relies on absolute rigor: manual selection, grape by grape, from six distinct plots ("crus") with clay and Pliocene pebble soils. Produced without filtration to preserve the full intensity of its fruit, Percarlo benefits from meticulous aging of 22 months in French oak barrels, complemented by at least 15 months of bottle refinement in the estate's cellars before release. A truly great, noble, and age-worthy wine.

2010 Vintage: The Splendor of a Legendary Year

The 2010 vintage is considered throughout Italy and by connoisseurs worldwide as one of the greatest vintages of the 21st century in Tuscany. Characterized by an ideal growing season, cool nights, and slow maturation, this 2010 offers an aromatic structure of crystalline purity. Less sun-drenched than 2006, the 2010 shines with captivating mineral tension, vibrant freshness, and silky tannins that promise exceptional longevity in the cellar.

On the palate, the attack is fluid and masterful. The texture is dense but airy, supported by an aristocratic tannic framework and a sapid freshness that extends the finish remarkably.
