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

WA94
The stunning 2011 Percarlo (Sangiovese) has been in bottle for one and a half years. Some 30% of the fruit this year was discarded because summer heat burned many of the berries. Great work was done at the sorting table to make sure that only the best berries were selected for this wine. That hard work has paid off because this is a profound expression of Sangiovese with sweet and soft contours of cherry and blackberry. The wine shows enormous complexity of character and a perfect sense of balance between its masculine and feminine side. It needs another five years of cellar aging.
