Percarlo San Giusto in Rentennano 2016

From the historic San Giusto winery in Rentennano, one of the most prestigious in the Chianti Classico appellation, the 2016 Percarlo is a legendary wine that has made Italian wine history. The winery, renowned for its traditional style and meticulous attention to terroir, has masterfully interpreted an exceptional vintage, considered one of the best of the decade and destined to last for decades.

Made from pure Sangiovese grapes, with an alcohol content of 14.5%, the wine has been aged for 20-22 months in new French oak barriques and 18 months in bottle. On the nose, it presents a complex and layered bouquet of ripe cherry, plum, tobacco, leather, sweet spices, and a balsamic touch. On the palate, it is structured and enveloping, with dense yet silky tannins and a pleasant freshness that guarantees a long evolution over time. The finish is persistent and leaves an impression of great harmony and depth. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
