San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo 2011 is a 100% Sangiovese red wine from the Gaiole district of Chianti Classico in Tuscany. Though it carries a regional designation, this wine is a selection of the best fruit from the estate`s oldest single vineyard plots, where the soil is dominated by Pliocene sand and clay. The 2011 vintage was warm, yielding a Percarlo with significant power and ripeness. The bouquet is a complex web of black cherries, balsamic, tobacco and dried roses. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with a dense tannic structure that has begun to soften after more than a decade in bottle. A signature backbone of acidity keeps the sun-drenched fruit vibrant, leading into a long, savoury finish marked by iron and earth.

The 2011 Percarlo is one of the most beautiful, expressive young Percarlos I have ever tasted. Fine, silky and exceptionally polished, the 2011 boast stunning textural depth and richness. Absolutely nothing is out of place in this super-sexy, racy, Percarlo. Once again San Giusto has elevated Sangiovese to a lofty, rarified level. Readers who can find the 2011 Percarlo should not hesitate. It is a real stunner.Antonio Galloni1st September 2014
