The Winery
San Giusto a Rentennano
Overlooking the Arbia River in the farthest southern part of the Chianti Classico wine region is the estate of San Giusto a Rentennano. Initially a medieval monastery for Cistercian nuns, the estate was passed through ownership until 1992 when it was finally inherited by Enrico Martini di Cigala and his nine children. The winery is known for their Chianti Classico & Classico Riserva but their real fame comes from its two Tuscan wines: a rare Merlot called La Ricolma and a Sangiovese called Percalo. Enjoy a bottle while you can!

Tasting Notes
- WA99
- The 2006 Percarlo is one of the all-time legendary wines from San Giusto. Everything is in the right place. Firm yet wonderfully refined tannins support an intense core of fruit. The 2006 possesses dazzling richness and intensity, all supported by its considerable structural heft. Layers of black cherries, licorice and spices wrap around the muscular, potent finish. This is an absolutely breathtaking showing from the 2006, in my view the greatest Percarlo and easily one of the finest wines of this historic Tuscan harvest. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031.
